| | David Hackett Souter: Traditional Republican on the Rehnquist Court |
 | | Souter still enjoys spending his summers there surrounded by stacks of books, in a small community of neighbors who are almost as solicitous of his privacy as he is. A Harvard graduate and Rhodes Scholar, Souter was especially influenced by a distant relative, “Aunt” Harriet Moulton Bartlett, who was a medical social worker. |
 | | Souter is a good friend to the children of his close acquaintances and was kind to his mother and to retired Justices William Brennan, who continued to keep an office at the Court after his retirement, and Thurgood Marshall, who had rather inappropriately questioned Souter’s credentials after Bush nominated him. |
 | | Unless Souter releases a treasure trove of personal papers, he or his clerks begin giving interviews and writing personal memoirs, or he serves another fifteen years, Yarbrough’s biography is likely to be the definitive work on Souter for the foreseeable future. |
