A life in public service

California politics, the Kennedy administration, and the federal bench

Judge Orrick discusses Democratic politics in California, the Kennedy Administration and his tenure in the Justice Department, particularly the New Haven railroad bankruptcy, the civil rights protests in Alabama, the Bahia de Nipe incident, and the Cuban missile crisis. Appointed to the federal bench in 1974, he speaks of some of the cases he heard: Patty Hearst, the Hells Angels, and the desegregation of San Francisco's schools.
