and i clerked for a year nor a year for potter stewart. potter stewart had been involved in republican politics. his father had been mayor of cincinnati. he imhad run for the cincinnati council. he'd practiced law in new york city. so, harold leventhal from the democratic side and potter stewart from the republican side were both similar in their approach to issues, in their love of writing, for example, and crafting opinions, so it taught me that there is a little bit of a difference between judging and politics. if people came from two very different political backgrounds. getting a clerkship on the supreme court is a total lottery. there are many, many, many people qualified to do it and you need luck and i had luck to get to clerk for potter stewart. after that i went to work -- >> can you stop for a minute? actually had an opportunity to ask somebody else. what term did you clerk? >> i clerked the october 1970 term. we had some very important cases. we had the pentagon papers case. we had the cassius clay case. we had some federalism
