 Dana Gioia Online - William Jay Smith
Smith was now writing at the height of his powers, and this volume included many of his finest poems, like "American Primitive," "The Dressmaker's Workroom," and "At the Tombs of the House of Savoy." There was, however, already a sign of the changes to come.
Smith's father, who dominates much of the book, was a powerful but troubled man. Unsuccessful in the military, he was unable to withstand the pressures of civilian life.
Smith stayed in his room upstairs, which often stank from the brewing in the kitchen downstairs, listening to the voices of the men drinking and gambling.

WILLIAM FRENCH SMITH, Ronald Reagan's first attorney general, fell somewhat in the shade of his successor, Ed Meese, who was more colorful, more conservative, and (hence?) more beleaguered.
Attorney General Smith was strong in his resistance to affirmative-action quotas, and to what he called "outmoded and exotic" antitrust doctrines.
Smith belonged to the Kitchen Cabinet, that group of Californians who had been impressed with the 1964 version of "The Speech," and who decided that Ronald Reagan would be good for the state, and for the nation.

 Crack Cocaine Class Action Lawsuit
3 DEFENDANT ESTATE OF WILLIAM FRENCH SMITH represents the interests of the estate of the United States Attorney General at the time of the CIA/DoJ secret agreement that is the basis of this action.
From 1982 to 1995, Smith and Casey's secret agreement - that the CIA had no duty to report drug crimes to the Department of Justice - was the principal rationale for this practice of ticket punching.
The signatories of the CIA/DoJ secret agreement - Attorney General William French Smith and CIA Director William Casey - and their successors, agencies and agents are legally liable for the pipeline of crack cocaine which inundated California urban centers from 1982 to 1986, and for the after-effects which continue to the present day.

In material evidently prepared for Attorney General William French Smith, Roberts wrote disparagingly in late 1981 of cases in which the courts had established rights not specifically defined in the Constitution.
One of Roberts' mentors was Washington lawyer Kenneth Starr, who was counsel to Smith and went on to serve as the independent counsel who led investigations of the Clinton administration.
The issue to be addressed was the constitutionality of a bill to strip the Supreme Court of its ability to rule on cases challenging voluntary school prayer legislation then pending in Congress.

 Hobart and William Smith French Department-Activities
A hundred and fifty years later, in 1759, it was officially named New France—a small colony of some 60,000 living along the banks of the St. Lawrence; Montreal had been founded; and French explorers had explored and claimed in the name of their king, territories from the frozen North down to the Gulf of Mexico.
Showing us the city of Montreal, its history, and its monuments, and its life, this film examines the characteristics and characters of the French population living in Montreal.
This is a story about the humor, hope and unspoken bonds that hold family and friends together against the onslaughts of life in our contemporary times.

Like previously reported memos from Roberts's stint in President Ronald Reagan's White House in the mid-1980s, the documents made available from the National Archives yesterday show a man in his mid-twenties deeply engaged in the conservative restructuring of government that the new president had promised.
In one instance, he wrote a memo to the attorney general urging Smith to disregard the recommendation of William Bradford Reynolds, the head of the agency's civil rights division, that the administration should intervene on behalf of female inmates in a sex discrimination case involving job training for prisoners.

In a memo on March 15, 1982, Roberts and Carolyn Kuhl, another Justice Department lawyer, also encouraged Attorney General William French Smith to pursue legislation to ensure that Reagan's conservative agenda would not be reversed when he left office.
Citing "conservative distaste for the growing influence of courts in society," they urged alternatives to litigation that are "less dependent on the fiat of unelected jurists."
The pair also urged Smith to find a way to communicate Reagan's policies to U.S. attorneys across the nation, and to monitor their compliance.
