  • On the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Saturday Night Massacre by the Honorable Laurence H
    On the Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of the Saturday Night Massacre by The Honorable Laurence H. Silberman* You have asked me to speak on my personal recollections of the latter Watergate period. It is risky, inviting aging judges to recount "war stories." Some of the matters I will describe have been reported on--at least in part. But I dare say I will give you some fresh information and certainly some added context. You should be warned, however, I have concluded, after reading innumerable memoirs, that the author invariably portrays him or herself in an overly favorable light. It is 25 years ago this month that the so-called Saturday Night Massacre occurred. Elliot Richardson, the Attorney General, was obliged to resign; Bill Ruckelshaus, the Deputy Attorney General, was fired; and the then third-ranking Solicitor General, Bob Bork, as Acting Attorney General, discharged Archibald Cox, the Watergate Special Prosecutor. The events that weekend in terms of dramatic impact rank with the fall of the Soviet Empire and the start of the Gulf War. Still, we all tend to think of such events in personal terms. When I was asked for my reaction at a dinner that Saturday night, I responded that we knew that President Richard Nixon disliked and distrusted Harvard graduates, but this seemed a bit extreme. In a few months, however, I would replace Bill Ruckelshaus, who was a class ahead of * Of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. This speech was delivered to the University of Minnesota Law Review’s Symposium, ¯ University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota, October 24, 1998.
