John Paul Stevens and the Constitution: The Search for Balance. [1]

John Paul Stevens, a soft-spoken Republican and former antitrust lawyer from Chicago, arrived at the Supreme Court in December 1975, having been appointed by President Gerald Ford to succeed Justice William O. Douglas, who had retired the month before. [2]

A member of the U.S. Supreme Court since 1975, John Paul Stevens has developed a reputation as a judicial centrist on the High Court, although many of his more well-known opinions are marked by a liberal bent. [3]

A New York-based stage and TV actor, Paul Stevens made few film appearances, but was still a familiar face thanks to his soap opera work in the ’60s, ’70s and ’80s. [...] His understanding of judicial review was influenced by Supreme Court Justice Wiley Rutledge, for whom he clerked in 1947. [4]

Today, Stevens is the most senior justice, both in age and years of service. [5]

Stevens began his legal career as a law clerk for U.S. Supreme Court Justice wiley b. [1]

After the war he studied law at Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago, graduating first in his class in 1947. [3]

(1947), he clerked with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Wiley Rutledge (1947–48). [6]

John Paul Stevens was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1975. [...] Stevens distinguished himself at Northwestern by becoming editor-in-chief of the school’s law review and graduating with the highest grades in the law school’s history. [5]

With the end of World War II, Stevens returned to Illinois intending to return to his studies in English, but was persuaded by his brother Richard, who was a lawyer, to attend law school. [7]

His father made a fortune in the insurance and hotel business and owned the Stevens Hotel, which has since become the Chicago Hilton. [5]

His first opinion on the court of appeals was a dissent in a challenge to the summary incarceration of an antiwar activist who had disrupted a legislative session (Groppi v. [3]

At his Senate hearing, Stevens expressed a sense of judicial duty and a personal need to write a dissent when he disagrees with a decision and to write a separate concurring opinion when he does not agree with the reasoning of the majority. [4]

the office casual friday

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

Some companies allow jeans, T-shirts, hoodies, and sneakers but others require business casual or smart casual dress. [...] Some companies and schools operate an occasional “dress down” day, where employees pay a small fee to be allowed to wear casual clothes (or even fancy dress), the money being donated to charity. [1]

Here are some photos from this week’s episode of The Office, ‘Casual Friday’. [2]

Meanwhile, trouble brews in the office when several employees take the term “casual” Fridays too loosely. [3]

Casual Friday (also known as Dress-down Friday, Bis-Cas-Fri, or simply Casual day) is an American and Canadian custom which has spread to other parts of the world, wherein some offices celebrate a semi-reprieve from the constrictions of a formal dress code. [...] Some offices have a themed dress down day, or encourage people to wear very casual clothes. [...] In the late 1970s, when the production of cheap clothing outside the United States became more widespread, there was a massive campaign by large clothing producers to make Casual Friday a weekly event.Casual Friday is not deemed as being a flexible solution and should only occur on that day in question. [1]

Michael has to mediate a dispute within his new sales team. [3]

The biggest backlash was by companies that had permitted blue jeans before, and now required at least more formal business casual or even “business formal”. [1]

Summary (NBC): Michael has to mediate a dispute within his new sales team. [4]

We are sorry, but we can’t find any airings of this episode in the next 14 days. [3]

Please follow OfficeTally’s comment policy. [4]

Whereas, during the rest of the week, business shirts, suits, ties, trousers, and dress shoes are the norm, on Casual Friday workers are allowed to wear more casual dress. [...] Casual Friday along with dressing casually during the week became very prevalent during the Dot Com hey-day of the late 1990s/early 2000s, particularly in the San Francisco Bay Area. [...] During the hey-day, some companies were so relaxed that shorts and sandals were permitted. [1]

Thursday, April 30th, 2009

The Celtics announced Thursday night after the Game 6 loss that a limited number of tickets for Game 7 on Saturday night (game time likely 8 p.m.) will go on sale at 11 a.m. [1]

Yeah, that Rajon Rondo, the Bulls have to get him. [2]

The Boston Celtics’ Big Three was down to one, and Paul Pierce was ready. [3]

Four of the six games between the Celtics and Bulls in this classic first-round playoff series have gone into overtime, with one of those games decided in double overtime and another in triple overtime. [1]

Check out Boston.com’s new Celtics discussion forum, comment on the hot topics of the day, and share your knowledge with other hoop fans in a brand new place. [4]

That’s the stuff I keep hearing since the stunning conclusion to Game 5 in this fabulous first round playoff series in which the Celtics now lead 3-2. [2]

A photo from Game 5 that made the rounds appeared to show injured Celtics all-star Kevin Garnett screaming from the sideline in the ear of Bulls guard Ben Gordon. [5]

The MVP of last year’s NBA finals scored 26 points, hitting one jumper to tie the game at the end of regulation and three more in the final 77 seconds of overtime on Tuesday night to help the Celtics beat the Chicago Bulls 106-104 and take a 3-2 lead in their best-of-seven playoff series. [3]

In an already historic series, the Bulls and Celtics found a way to make it even more epic in Game 6, when Chicago outlasted Boston in three overtimes, holding on for a 128-127 victory to tie it up at 3-3 and force a final and deciding game. [6]

The Celtics pushed the Bulls into three overtime periods in Chicago tonight, but were unable to end the series. [...] Relive the Celtics’ first NBA championship in 22 years. [4]

The Chicago Bulls took a 128-127 triple-overtime victory over the Celtics Thursday night, extending their first-round series to a seventh and final game Saturday in Boston. [...] The Celtics, missing three starters as Glen Davis, Paul Pierce, and Kendrick Perkins fouled out, cut the deficit to 1 as Rajon Rondo followed his own miss. [1]

Paul Pierce connected on three jumpers in the final 77 seconds, the clinching score with 3.4 seconds remaining, in a 106-104 overtime win as the Celtics took a 3-2 lead in their first-round playoff series going into Chicago tomorrow. [4]

The Celtics could finish the Bulls off in Chicago on Thursday in Game 6; if not, the decisive seventh game would be in Boston on Saturday. [3]
