Griswold established the James H. and Hope E. Griswold fund, the Oberlin College Library's largest endowed acquisitions fund, in memory of his parents.

 The Pentagon Papers Case
The Griswold Brief asserts that there are specific references to the names and activities of CIA agents "still active in Southeast Asia.” Almost all the CIA officers identified in the documents were in fact high level officials like Richard Helms, John McCone, Allen Dulles, and Richard Bissell, publicly known officials.
The Griswold brief's assertion that the estimate "is in large part still applicable" is accurate in the sense that any simple enumeration of broad options will always contain the range of actions that are possible in a situation.
The Griswold brief asserts that the revelation of a footnote describing the judgment of the United States Intelligence Board on Russian capacity to supply various types of weapons to North Vietnam "has much about it that is current, and its disclosure.

 The Next Hurrah: Privacy vs. Penumbra
In a Dec. 11, 1981, memo to his boss, Attorney General William French Smith, Roberts referred to a comment by former Solicitor General Erwin Griswold that derided the ``so-called `right to privacy''' that formed the basis of the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v.
Griswold, also a former dean of Harvard Law School, was ``arguing as we have that such an amorphous right is not to be found in the Constitution,'' Roberts wrote in the memo, among papers released by the National Archives and Records Administration in advance of his Senate confirmation hearings set to begin Sept. 6.
Perhaps it would have been better if Griswold had been grounded in the 9th Amendment in the first place, instead of leaving the impression that the right of privacy is somehow shadowy, when in fact it is basic to liberty.

Among the Roberts memos released by the National Archives is one inoccuously marked “Erwin Griswold correspondence.” It’s a cover memo to accompany a letter to the former Harvard Law dean that Roberts drafted for then-AG William French Smith’s signature.
Dean Griswold had recently sent Smith a copy of a lecture that challenged the judicial activism of the 1960s and 1970s, and Roberts drafted a friendly response.
What’s interesting about the memo is not the attached letter — which is standard fare mutually admiring correspondence between poohbahs of the law — but some of the discussion in Roberts’s brief memo.
