"A Chief Justice is first a judge and only then a Chief. I hope I am heard less and read more often, that I am effective without being obtrusive, and that I make every endeavor to fill the unforgiving minute with 60 seconds worth of distance run. Towards such an endeavor, I look forward to your gracious cooperation, particularly from the Bar."
