Edward Bennett Williams - Washington Superlawyer; Founder of law firm Williams & Connelly; Knights of Malta National President
Quote:
Edward Bennett Williams (May 31, 1920 – August 13, 1988) was a Washington, D.C. trial attorney who founded the law firm of Williams & Connolly and owned several professional sports teams.
He represented many high profile clients including Frank Sinatra, financier Robert Vesco, Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner, spy Igor Melekh, Jimmy Hoffa, organized crime figure Frank Costello, U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, Michael Milken, the Washington Post newspaper and the Reverend Sun Myung Moon.
Williams, who was a graduate of the College of the Holy Cross and Georgetown University Law Center, successfully defended – among others – Adam Clayton Powell, Jr., Jimmy Hoffa, John Connally and as one his last clients Michael Milken.
Two of Williams' closest friends were the Washington Post's Art Buchwald and Ben Bradlee. His debating team partner at Holy Cross was Robert Maheu, Howard Hughes's right hand man for many years.
In 1983 his two professional teams, the Baltimore Orioles and the Washington Redskins, both won their respective championships. He owned the Orioles from 1980 to 1988. When he bought the Orioles many feared he would move the team to Washington D.C., and these fears increased with the departure of the Colts. However, Williams never moved the team, and under his ownership, the team signed a new long term lease with Baltimore that would pay for a new stadium, which would become Oriole Park at Camden Yards. He would not live to see the new ball park.

WOW I figured people would be all over this thread. No new replies in hours. An anonymous group offering 5 trillion pounds or up to 17 trillion pounds to help the economy. That's about 8 to 24 trillion dollars!
I was never one to believe in a global settlement, but this is a friggin British lord saying this. If this is all a hoax they are taking it to the serious extreme. If this isn't a hoax then AH may not be a gullible nut job, and knows exactly what is going on.
I really don't know what to think about this. I've gone from 0% chance that there is any money set aside for us to "Come on Al talk to us" I still won't believe it's true until the money is in my account, but boy this sure got me thinking.

I can't believe I'm getting sucked back in. Ahhhhh!!!

allforanm:
I really don't know what to think about this, either... but I'll say this.
Gullible nut jobs don't have their name on the top front of a law firm shingle.
The guy (Al) has a long history in the legal profession... that could say good things and it can say bad things... but it CERTAINLY DOESN'T say gulllible nut job.

Ed I thought I would hear something about that line. lol I just used that line as an extreme of opinions on him. You know I am bipolar. (I spend half of my time here and the other half on F4D's board) Here's to hope! Cheers |
