LEWIS F. POWELL, JR. LECTURE — BREYER VS. BREYER All of these lectures were just that – lectures. Great lectures, informative lectures, inspirational lectures. You can read many of them by going to the College’s website and the page for the Powell Committee. But now for something completely different. This year’s lecturer was recently retired U.S. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer. But he didn’t lecture. He simply treated us to a chat with his brother. As the older brother, and the one who sat on the Supreme Court, Stephen probably has earned top billing in this brother act, but Chuck is a pretty accomplished person in his own right. THE LEWIS F. POWELL, JR. LECTURE SERIES FEATURES PRESENTATIONS BY DIS- TINGUISHED SPEAKERS AT REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE FELLOWS OF THE COLLEGE IN HONOR OF LEWIS F. POWELL, JR., THE TWENTIETH PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE AND THE NINETY-NINTH JUSTICE TO SIT ON THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES. OVER THE YEARS, OUR POWELL LECTURERS HAVE INCLUDED JUSTICE POWELL HIMSELF, JUSTICE SANDRA DAY O’CONNOR, JUSTICE JOHN PAUL STEVENS, JUDGE GRIFFIN BELL (FORMER COURT OF APPEALS JUDGE, UNITED STATES ATTOR- NEY GENERAL AND THIRTY-SIXTH PRESIDENT OF THE COLLEGE), JUDGE WILLIAM WEBSTER (FORMER FEDERAL DISTRICT AND COURT OF APPEALS JUDGE, DIREC- TOR OF THE FBI AND DIRECTOR OF THE CIA), WILLIAM COHEN (FORMER U.S. SEN- ATOR AND SECRETARY OF DEFENSE), JAMES A. BAKER III (WHITE HOUSE CHIEF OF STAFF TO TWO PRESIDENTS AND FORMER U.S. SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY AND SECRETARY OF STATE), AND MANY OTHERS OF EXTRAORDINARY ACCOMPLISHMENT. 55 JOURNAL
