I met him at the Court once during law school. He came across as the most even-keeled person in the world. I asked him how he thought he had changed, if at all, throughout his years on the Court. He said, "We never see ourselves as others see us." I'll never forget it. He'll be missed; sorry to hear that his papers won't be released for 50 years.

> sorry to hear that his papers won't be released for 50 years. Are they subject to Freedom of Information requests?

  If not, that seems ... shocking. Edit: I was not aware of this, somehow, lo these many years. Per Google, emphasis mine: $FOIA grants the public the right to request records from the executive branch of the U.S. Government. However, it specifically excludes the Legislative and Judicial branches, including the Supreme Court.$
