Great talk! Something I didn't know about Dallin Oaks was his highly respectable reputation among the law community, especially at the U of Chicago Law School, from which he graduated. I also didn't know that he was clerk for Chief Justice Earl Warren of the Supreme Court in the late 50s. Pretty impressive. Hugh Hewitt held a very interesting interview with Dallin Oaks on national radio following the his address at Chapman. Good stuff.
