Allen Murphy's biography "Wild Bill" (Random House, 2003) traces the moves
and influence of other justices, primarily Brennan, that resulted in Douglas
casting the decision the way he did (at pp. 384-388), which "simultaneously made
Douglas both the icon of the liberals and the devil incarnate to generations of
conservatives." p. 388

Subject: Teaching Griswold -- Why Douglas' decision was the majority decis ionCould anyone refer me to a good resource or insights for teaching Griswold v. Connecticut? I'm particularly interested in teaching materials that will help the class better understand why Douglas' decision was the majority decision, in light of the multiple concurring decisions, including Justice Goldberg's decision in which the Chief Justice and Justice Brennan joined.I've been through most of my texts. Unfortunately, most of the older law reviews discussing Griswold are no longer on line.Thanks!Lauren GilbertAssistant Professor of LawSt. Thomas University School of Law
