A collection of eight speeches from one of America's most brilliant politicians and public servants whose federal service spanned the Eisenhower Administration to the George H.W. Bush Administration. Elliot Richardson holds two records in American government: one as the only person to serve as U.S. Attorney, State Attorney General, and U.S. Attorney General, and another as the first person to hold as many as four federal cabinet posts, serving at the head of Health, Education and Welfare; Defense, Justice; and Commerce. He also served as Deputy Secretary of State, held elective office (Attorney General and Lieutenant Governor of Massachusetts), and as Ambassador to Great Britain and to Law of the Sea treaty negotiations.
