one of my prized possessions is a new zealand five signed by sir edmond hillary of 1953. >> you have let's go through the commodities forecast here. what is your outlook for crude? >> well, crude i think there's plenty of $120 crude around. i think we are going to try to see how much $85 crude there is out there. there's plenty of high-priced crude. there is a lot of drilling going on. a lot of crude oil being found. a lot of natural gas being found. crude is getting sporty at these levels. brent is sportily priced up here. i suspect we'll see crude oil get weaker. not dramatically so but weaker over the course of the next several weeks. great run on the up side. especially wti. >> nothing sporty about copper. you don't see things getting sportier either. is that a statement? is that an actual read on the global economy or is this a function of inventories building up at lme in shanghai? >> i think it's both. inventories are at historic high levels. i think too many people look only at copper and say it's dr. copper and gives you a great idea where the economy is going. if you look a

richardson and the people who worked with him most closely then, such as edmond kitsch and keith jones, tell the same story. and bork's narration in the book is entirely consistent with the man i knew for 40 years. intellectual, considering consequences before acting and absolutely honest. he's also the funniest man i ever met. that didn't come through in his 1987 hearings, but the book is full of his wit. [laughter] the life of a solicitor general, like the life of a judge, is reactive. other people decide what suits to bring, the solicitor general controls the government's presentation in those suits to the supreme court. what petitions to file, what responses to file, merits briefs, oral argument and the solicitor general also decides when the government will appeal an adverse decision by a district court or seek rehearing en banc in a court of appeals. the solicitor general has authority to decide when, if at all, to participate as amicus curiae in the supreme court or a court of appeals. it's a broad portfolio and requires a large base of knowledge, plus the ability to learn fast.
