Adopt a Box
Hearing the request of my blogfather, Hugh Hewitt, to read and report on one of many boxes of documents, supposedly regarding Supreme Court Nominee John Roberts, which were just released by the Reagan Library in PDF form, I said count me in and was assigned one by the man behind the man, the very capable Duane Johnson, who is a darned fine blogger himself at Radioblogger. I got box 4 (part 2) entitled Asbestos Legislation.
In that box were, in 52 pages, a series of military memoranda and reports regarding Naval and Merchant Marine ship building between 1940 and 1944. Several of the reports on materials were about strategic minerals including asbestos. All were authored and typed in the 1940s, obviously none by Judge Roberts. There were a few notes and underlinings but none attributable to Judge Roberts. In short there was absolutely nothing in this box that would in any way give you any insight into Judge Roberts.
It was kinda interesting though to someone with a little knowledge of and more interest in naval history in general. It could have been worse.
