 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 invitation to deliver the Griswold lecture is a formidable honor on many counts, among them Dean Griswold’s personal inauguration of the series and the high respect in which we hold each of the prior lecturers in the series.
Beyond the tax law, we remember his unflinching championship of the Fifth Amendment rights exercised by targets of Senator Joe McCarthy’s loyalty inquisition in the early Fifties, at a time when Harvard itself was in the Senator’s gun sights as a haven for liberals-and worse.

Published On Erwin N. Griswold, Dean of the Harvard Law School, cited decisions "on too broad grounds" as the basis for recent criticism of the Supreme Court.
Griswold told an audience of the State Bar of California last night that an overload of cases was responsible for the courts "objectionable" decisions.
This crucial situation has been created because the scope of review has not been revised since 1925 and in thirty-three years both the population and the number of controversies reaching the Court have made large increases.

With him on the briefs were William R. Jentes, Sidney N. Herman, Robert E. Shapiro, and Donald I. Baker.
Although the Court in the latter case suggested that the contracts between affiliated companies, and not merely the original combination, could be viewed as the conspiracy, id., at 184, the Court left no doubt that "the combination in and of itself" was a restraint of trade and a monopolization, id., at 187.
Nothing in these opinions should be interpreted as justifying the Conclusion that concerted action solely between a parent and subsidiary or subsidiaries, the purpose and effect of which is not coercive restraint of the trade of strangers to the corporate family, violates Section 1.

Roberts replied: "Senator, I do." Asked to square that statement with what he had written more than two decades ago, Roberts replied that he had merely summarized the views of the former solicitor general.
Roberts did not mention, however, that Griswold's speech did not refer, as he did, to the "so-called right to privacy." And Roberts did not say yesterday whether he believes that the right to privacy applies to abortion.
Instead, he repeatedly parried such questions by saying that it would be inappropriate for him to discuss issues that could come before the court.

 The Pentagon Papers Case
The Griswold secret brief (annotated "Reviewed for Declassification" with dates) is the capstone document.
As Griswold recounted the process in the oral argument, this brief identified the 11 items or sections of the Pentagon Papers disclosure of which would cause irreparable damage to U.S. national security.
That the U.S. government considered this a vital part of its claim is demonstrated by the fact that Solicitor General Griswold included the same items in his "Supplemental List" to the Supreme Court and also separately submitted the "Special Appendix" document in addition to his court briefs.
