| Stevens Point and then to transfer to Wisconsin Lutheran work for you?"Q: Did it work out better for you at Wisconsin Lutheran?A: "My wife and I got married and we moved to Salt Lake City, where I was a graduate assistant coach at the University of Utah.Ron McBride and then he got fired and (current Florida coach) Urban Meyer took over."From there, after my wife got done with medical school, we came back to Milwaukee.Luckily it worked out that they did."That was Division 1 football.Q: What was your reaction when you found out that you were coming to Whitewater, where it is close to home for you and with a team that is obviously pretty good?Wisconsin Lutheran and also Carroll College, but I felt this team has the best chance to be successful, and obviously, because it is a little bit bigger program, there was a little bit more money involved."Q: Mount Union had been a dominant team all season, but in the championship game, you guys played great and came out with the victory.Entering the game, was there a feeling among the team that they were going to pull this off?But I think as soon as we hit the playoffs, it was a whole different mentality."We went to Salem, (Virginia) knowing we were going to win.We had 23 seniors that had been there before and just were not going to be denied this year.So I think we were really pretty confident going in.There was just kind of no question once we got to Salem."Q: What was that experience like, when the final seconds were ticking off and you guys knew you had pulled it off and won a national title?To finally overcome that and win, all the emotion around you just takes over.Am I assuring that they having the best experience they can?We won the championship, but if I found out, say for example, one of our players was cheating academically or something like that and was ruled ineligible, that really takes away from it more than anything.So, I think for my personal goals, I would like to continue to be an assistant coach, maybe move up to a coordinator spot and who knows, in 10 years, maybe I would like to be a head coach.Just the experience of going through the playoffs for the first time.Bright Horizons Family Solutions Acquires Lipton Corporate Child Care Centers, Inc.How poor must housing aid clients be?"That's more

2.Stevens was born on April 19, 1920, in Chicago, Illinois, to a wealthy family of that city.The Stevens Hotel was subsequently bought by Hilton Hotels and is today the Chicago Hilton and Towers.His mother, Elizabeth Maude Street Stevens, a native of Michigan City, Indiana, was a high school English teacher.Two of his three older brothers also became lawyers.Stevens was awarded a Bronze Star for his service in the codebreaking team whose work led to the downing of Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto's plane in 1943.Stevens married Elizabeth Jane Sheeren in June 1942.Divorcing her in 1979, he married Maryan Mulholland Simon that December.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.Stevens enrolled in the Northwestern University School of Law in 1945 (the G.Bill mostly paying his way).This service, Stevens has said, deeply inspired him, as evident from his Rutledgean focus on the careful interpretation of the facts in a case present in his opinions.They soon developed a successful practice, with Stevens continuing to focus on antitrust cases.In 1969, the Greenberg Commission, appointed by the Illinois Supreme Court to investigate Sherman Skolnick's corruption allegations levelled at former Chief Justice Ray Klingbiel and current Chief Justice Roy J.Stevens as their counsel, meaning that he essentially served as the commission's special prosecutor.As the senior Associate Justice, Stevens assumes the administrative duties of the court whenever the post of Chief Justice of the United States is vacant or the Chief Justice is unable to perform his duties.Chief Justice John Roberts, and has presided over oral arguments on a number of occasions when the Chief Justice was ill or recused.As his seniority grew in the closing decade of the Rehnquist court, Stevens was often the senior justice on one side of a split decision and thereby entitled to assign the writing of the opinion.He almost always writes a dissenting opinion when in dissent and writes concurring opinions more often than most other justices historically.Stevens, right, swears in Chief Justice John Roberts.Even though Justice Stevens is 87 years old, he has not shown any hints of opting for retirement.His possible retirement is a highly debated topic in legal and political circles in Washington.Stevens would be almost 89 years old if he remains on the court until the end of President Bush's term in January 2009.On the other hand, he has hired law clerks to work for him through the year 2008, which suggests he will not retire before then.Given the fact that he belongs to the liberal wing of the Court, Stevens may be waiting for a Democratic president to retire.Early in his tenure on the Supreme Court Stevens had a moderate voting record.Justices on issues such as abortion rights, gay rights and federalism.Court members, places him squarely in the ideological center of the Court.Long, for example, Stevens dissented from the U.Cleburne Living Center, Stevens argued against the Supreme Court's famous "strict scrutiny" doctrine for laws involving "suspect classifications", putting forth the view that all classifications should be evaluated on the basis of the "rational basis" test as to whether they could have been enacted by an "impartial legislature".Stevens was once an impassioned critic of affirmative action, voting in 1978 to invalidate the affirmative action program at issue in Regents of the University of California v.He also dissented in 1980's Fullilove v.Stevens wrote the majority opinion in Hamdan v.Freedom of speech
Stevens' views on obscenity under the First Amendment have changed over the years.First Amendment will not tolerate the total suppression of erotic materials that have some arguably artistic value, it is manifest that society's interest in protecting this type of expression is of a wholly different, and lesser, magnitude than the interest in untrammeled political debate"), Stevens now adheres firmly to a libertarian free speech approach on obscenity issues, voting to strike down a federal law regulating "virtual" child pornography in 2002's ACLU v."As a judge, I must confess to a growing sense of unease when the interest in protecting children from prurient materials is invoked as a justification for using criminal regulation of speech as a substitute for, or a simple backup to, adult oversight of children's viewing."Anthony, and Abraham Lincoln, schoolteachers like Nathan Hale and Booker T.Washington, the Philippine Scouts who fought at Bataan, and the soldiers who scaled the bluff at Omaha Beach.Stevens generally supports students' right to free speech in public schools.He wrote sharply worded dissents in Bethel v.However, he joined the court's ruling on Hazelwood v.He then authored Gonzales v.Fourth Amendment
Stevens has a generally liberal voting record on Fourth Amendment, which deals with search and seizure.Vernonia School District 47J v.Acton, both involving searches in schools.United States, a case relating to the open fields doctrine.Ross, which permits the police to search automobiles without a warrant.Death penalty
Stevens joined the majority in Gregg v.Stevens opposed the use of death penalty on juvenile offenders, as he was a dissenter in Stanford v.Kentucky and joined the Court's opinion in Roper v.Chevron
In 1984, Stevens authored the majority opinion in Chevron U.Natural Resources Defense Council, Inc.United States Supreme Court.The opinion stands for how courts review Administrative Agencies' interpretations of their organic statutes.If the statute is unclear, courts defer to an agency's interpretation of the statute, unless that interpretation is deemed to be "arbitrary and capricious."See his majority opinion in Immigration and Naturalization Service v.At the time of Stevens' appointment, Senator James A.Ford's appointments to other Federal courts ranged from very conservative to moderately liberal.He is serving his nation well, with dignity, intellect and without partisan political concerns.He surpassed the age of Roger B.Taney, who died in October 1864 at the age of 87 years, 6 months, and 26 days.In order to pass Justice Holmes as the oldest serving Justice of the Supreme Court, Stevens would have to serve until February 26, 2011, when he would be 90 years and 312 days old.In order to pass his predecessor Justice William O.For many years, Stevens employed only three law clerks, one fewer than most of his colleagues.However, during the 1994 and 1995 terms, he shared a law clerk hired by retired Justice Lewis F.Since the 2001 term, he has hired the full complement of four.He is said to have been in attendance at the 1932 World Series game at Wrigley Field where Babe Ruth called his shot.Justice Stevens has a high school named after him in San Antonio, Texas, part of the Northside Independent School District.Stevens and his wife, Maryan, attended the dedication in September 2005.At the suggestion of Justice Stevens, humorist Dave Barry once wrote a column on the antiflatulence product Beano.Jeffrey Rosen, "The Dissenter," The New York Times Magazine (September 23, 2007).Left Influence Has Grown," Washington Post, February 21, 2006.Lawrence Sirovich, "A Pattern Analysis of the Second Rehnquist Court," Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 100 (June 24, 2003).References
