Mitchell Oral History Project at Bowdoin College with Thomas Daffron. We are in his office, Jefferson Consulting Group in Washington, D.C., where he serves as chief operating officer. Today is Monday, October 5, 2009, and I am Brien Williams. Let me ask you first to give me your full name and spelling, please? Thomas Daffron: First name Thomas, T-H-O-M-A-S, middle initial A, last name Daffron, D- A-F-F-R-O-N. BW: And your date and place of birth? TD: January 23, 1949, New York City. BW: And your parents’ names. TD: Thomas A. Daffron, Jr., I’m actually the third, although I don’t use it, and Katherine M. Daffron, K-A-T-H-E-R-I-N-E. They’re both deceased. BW: Tell me a little bit about your own family background and your education. TD: I have a bachelor’s degree from Brown University, a master’s in journalism from Columbia. I was a newspaper reporter for several years prior to coming to Washington. I came to Washington on a nine-month fellowship to learn about Congress, and that was many years ago, I was offered a job by a U.S. senator and I stayed in Washington. And although I had a couple of periods where I left, once to spend a year in Maine working for International Paper, and four years in Baltimore working for a baseball team, the Baltimore Orioles, the rest of the time I’ve been here. And I’ve been generally in politics and government, but I’ve been back and forth. I worked for four different senators. The longest stint was with Senator Cohen but I started with Senator Percy from Illinois, and then I went with Congressman Cohen, who subsequently became Senator Cohen, and I left for awhile. I came back with Fred Thompson from Tennessee, and left for a longer period of time, and my last stint was with Lisa Murkowski, who’s a senator from Alaska. And I was chief of staff in every instance except with Percy, where I was essentially a speech writer – that wasn’t my title, but that’s what I did. Page 1 of 27 I’ve also worked in two or three government relations jobs here in Washington, and I had the baseball job – every red-blooded American boy’s dream is to work for a baseball team, and I was lucky enough to have it happen to me. BW: What period were you -? TD: I was at the Orioles from 1990 to 1994. I met a gentleman named Eli Jacobs through Bill Cohen and we got to know each other, because I did various things to prepare for his various campaigns. And one day we were down at the Jefferson Hotel, just exchanging idle chatter, and he said, “I just was approved by the American League to buy the Orioles.” And I said well, “I’m a baseball fanatic, if you ever need any help, let me know.” But I thought the same sort of likelihood is that, if somebody says, ‘if you’re ever in Bangkok, stop by and see me.’ But he did call me back, and I did get a job, and it was a very interesting four-year period, and Eli eventually sold the Orioles and I went back into government work. But it was an interesting experience, I enjoyed it. Not one I would have anticipated. BW: Was that before the Edward Bennett Williams time, or after? TD: Actually Jacobs bought the team from the Williams estate, from Agnes Williams, and it was sold, the next owner is Peter Angelos, who owns it to this day. BW: Right. So I take it then, your career has been sort of in and out of politics. TD: Yes, when I started as a newspaper reporter I covered a lot of politics. I came down here – something called the American Political Science Association runs a congressional fellowship program and I was assigned to, you get four months, you get a little orientation, then get four months in the House and four in the Senate, and I spent four months with Mo Udall, the congressman from Arizona, and four months with Chuck Percy. I wanted to see Republicans and Democrats in the House and the Senate, and when it was over Senator Percy offered me a job. And I had three small children at the time and it was for [what seemed like] an outlandish sum of money at the time, [compared to what I was paid] for [ ] writing editorials. You can imagine how much they paid me writing editorials if a government job looked like an economic bonanza. But I liked Washington and I decided to stay, and three years after that I was offered a job by then-Congressman Cohen, who was relatively new, and I stayed with him for five years in the House and ten or eleven, seventeen altogether so it must have been twelve, five in the House and five plus, eleven plus in the Senate. And I had two stints with him, I left Bill briefly in 1988-89, and came back when my [first] successor [retired] [ ]. My second successor was Bob Tyrer, who succeeded handsomely and has been with Bill for most of his adult life. In fact, except for six months as a newspaper reporter, Bob’s always worked for Bill. And Bob came to our office as a seventeen-year-old intern. He was a student at George Page 2 of 27 Washington University, and said he’d heard Bill speak at some Unitarian church out in Michigan and said he wanted a job. And I said, “We don’t have any jobs.” And so he wrote me a letter and said – and I’d put a P.S. on it saying, ‘if you want to volunteer, it doesn’t pay anything, let me know,’ so he volunteered and that’s the start of history. That was in 1975, we’re now in 2009, what’s that, thirty-four years, he’s been gone six months, so Bob has been with Bill – I always thought I would have the record, but no, Bob was with Bill a lot longer than I was. BW: Do you come from a political family? TD: No, my father was a newspaperman, and I was not going to do that. I was going to go to law school, [but] I just couldn’t bear the thought of three years in law school and left after a few weeks. My mother and father, well my mother was a very active Democrat; my father was a newspaperman so he was sort of nonpartisan. And we lived in suburban New York, which was then very Republican, and they were one of the few Democratic families in the community. But no, neither one of them were terribly active in politics. I always was interested in it. I earlier had had some association with people in politics and it all seemed very seductive, and then was in the newspaper business, I covered it, it seemed exciting and glamorous and so forth. And I enjoyed it, but I had no plans to do this. In fact, like so many people who have graduated from college, I had no idea what I was going to do, and this was sort of all happenstance. BW: Talk a little bit about Percy and his brand of Republicanism. TD: Well I am a moderate Republican. Most, with the exception of Thompson, almost all of the people I’ve worked with, I’ve been Susan Collins’ consultant for fifteen years, and she used to work for me in Bill’s office, and with Bill and Chuck, they were all moderate Republicans, when there were very many more [moderates]. And there really was not a lot of difference between the center right Democrats, I mean the difference between Udall and Percy from an ideological standpoint was very small, but there was also a lot more of them. When I went to work with Percy there were, I don’t know, fifteen or twenty moderate Republicans. And one of the most conservative guys in the caucus at that time was Bob Dole, and Bob Dole, by the time he left, was one of the most, considered a moderate to liberal Republican.

John Dillon* Baseball is America’s sport. It evokes a sense of tradition and a love for the home team. Like all professional sports teams, however, baseball teams are part of a league, which restricts team ownership through contrac- tual “constitutional” provisions and agreements and limits the number of teams that exist. In this limited and restricted entertainment market, profes- sional sports teams operate highly lucrative businesses that sometimes seek bankruptcy protection through Chapter 11 reorganization. Bankruptcy gen- erally allows the debtor to alter existing contractual rights and restructure its operations to avert the financial crisis that precipitated the bankruptcy filing.

I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.

In the 1950s, Confidential was the founder of tabloid, celebrity journalism in the United States. With screaming headlines and bold, scandalous accusations of illicit sex, crime, and other misdeeds, Confidential destroyed celebrities’ reputations, relation- ships, and careers. Not a single major star of the time was spared the “Confidential treatment”: Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Liberace, and Marlon Brando, among others, were exposed in the pages of the magazine. 1 Using hidden tape recorders, zoom lenses, and private investigators and prostitutes as “informants,” publisher Robert Harrison set out to destroy stars’ carefully constructed media images, and in so doing, built a media empire. Between 1955 and 1957, Confidential was the most popular, bestselling magazine in the nation.

WHO IS THE LAWYER OF THE CENTURY? GeraldF. Uelmen* I. INTRODUCTION Every lawyer should have a hero. Mine has always been Clarence Darrow. As a high school student, it was reading Darrow's biography by Irving Stone,' and reading the closing arguments in his famous trials, 2 that inspired me to pursue a career as a lawyer. I dis- covered I was not alone. Thousands of other lawyers had found the same inspiration and also looked to Darrow as their hero. For fifteen years I kept a portrait of Darrow hanging over my desk, and I fre- quently found myself gazing up and asking, "Would Clarence Dar- row turn down this case? What would Clarence Darrow have to say about that?" That's what heroes are for: to inspire us and to serve as role models. Then, in 1993, Professor Geoffrey Cowan published an account of the 1912 Los Angeles trials of Clarence Darrow for jury bribery.3 The charges were brought in the wake of a case in which two labor organizers, the McNamara brothers, were accused of dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building on October 1, 1910.
