Anyone interested in collecting a bookshelf of serious reading on the various Chief Justices of the United States is struck at the outset by the relative paucity of materials available. Among the studies of the Chief Justices of the twentieth century there is King's Melville Weston, Fuller,' which, while not definitive, is reliable and adequate enough to have merited reprinting in the excellent paperback series being edited by Professor Philip Kurland of the University of Chicago.

KEY WEST IS TRULY A 'PRESIDENTIAL CITY' By HAMPTON DUNN KEY WEST --- The first President to discover the delights of this Southernmost City in the U.S. was president Jefferson Davis of the Confederate States of America. He came here in 1867, shortly after his release from prison following the South's defeat. The first U.S. President to visit here was Ulysses S. Grant, the famed Civil War General, who touched down here on a world tour in 1880. President William Howard Taft came down on Henry Flagler's Overseas Railroad in 1912, with Flagler proudly showing him the sights. Grover Cleveland was one of the early Presidents who liked Key West. President Hervert Hoover, a real Isaac Walton, loved the Keys and stayed here aboard his yacht often during his Presidency.

CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT EARL WARREN-T
THE YALE LAW JOURNAL VOLUME 67 JANUARY, 1958 NUMBER 3 CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT EARL WARREN-t Delivered at the Yale University ceremonies commemorating the centennial of the birth of William Howard Taft. WE commemorate a centennial. In an arbitrary sense, the passage of a hundred years, like any other unit of measure, is in itself neither important nor unimportant; its only significance derives from the transactions and changes to which it is applied. But, from the standpoint of perspective and, more especi- ally, as a review of the course of a dynamic country which, by history's reckon- ing, still is young, but which within ten decades has attained the position of foremost influence in the free world, it is a long period ponderous with impli- cation. The population has grown from less than 32,000,000 to more than 165,000,000; it has been a time of extraordinary mechanical and scientific progress; abroad, old civilizations have fallen and new societies take their place; ancient values have been tested and some have been dismissed and some revised; the world has grown smaller in every way. Considered in these terms the century, and the seventy-two years which William Howard Taft spent in it, assume stature, dimension and character. Apart from the pervasive personality, the Taft story is a review of the com- pilations of Martindale, the Ohio Blue Book, and the Official Register of the United States. Actually, it is an odyssey, the narrative of a long journey beset with detours, delays, distraction and a sometimes receding destination.

Mckinley Revised
THE PRESIDENT FROM CANTON by Grant Segall Greeting the nation from his front porch in Canton, nursing his frail wife, sporting scarlet carnations from a foe, soft-peddling his views, the dapper little William McKinley seemed like the quintessential Victorian. The impression deepened when assassin Leon Czolgosz from Cleveland froze him in time and Teddy Roosevelt rough-rode into the Progressive era. But McKinley launched what became known as the American Century. He helped make a former colony a colonizer and the world’s biggest manufacturer. He planned the Panama Canal and the Open Door policy toward China. He promoted labor rights, mediation and arbitration. He created the White House’s war room, press briefings and press receptions. He also started a century-long rise in presidential power. Future President Woodrow Wilson wrote in 1900, “The president of the United States is now, as of course, at the front of affairs, as no president, except Lincoln, has been since the first quarter of the 19th century.” McKinley broadened a Republican base that mostly dominated until 1932. While he quaintly campaigned from his porch, innovative backers paid the way of an estimated 750,000 visitors from around the country. They also used early polls and movies. Historian Allan Peskin of Cleveland State University once told The Plain Dealer, “McKinley was the first modern president.” Biographer Kevin Phillips wrote, “The Progressive era is said to begin with Teddy Roosevelt, when in fact McKinley put in place the political organization, the antimachine spirit, the critical party realignment, the cadre of skilled GOP statesmen..., the firm commitment to popular and economic democracy and the leadership needed.” 1 Supporters called him the Idol of Ohio.

The Supreme Court Opinion As Institutional Practice: Dissent, Legal Scholarship, and Decisionmaking in the Taft Court
The Supreme Court Opinion as Institutional Practice: Dissent, Legal Scholarship, and Decisionmaking in the Taft Court Robert Postt In 1921, when William Howard Taft became Chief Justice, the Supreme Court did not occupy the serene and imposing marble building that has since become its contemporary icon.1 Its courtroom was instead located in the old Senate Chamber, whose intimate, elegant surroundings echoed with the debates of Webster, Clay, and Calhoun.2 Its administrative staff and offices were scattered haphazardly and inefficiently throughout the Capitol.3 It was Taft who, with great skill and patience, t I am very grateful for the advice and insight of friends and colleagues. I would particularly like to thank Paul Carrington, Jesse Choper, Meir Dan- Cohen, Mel Eisenberg, Dan Farber, Phil Frickey, Barry Friedman, Howard Gillman, Jim Gordley, Morton Horowitz, Laura Kalman, Robert Kagan, Larry Kramer, David Lieberman, Sandy Levinson, David and Miranda McGowan, Paul Mishkin, William Nelson, Judith Resnik, Dan Rubinfeld, Reva Siegel, and Mark Tushnet. I am especially grateful for the stalwart and heroic efforts of Linda Lye, Cathy Shuck, and Sambhav Nott Sankar. Copyright 2001 by Robert Post.
