Articles and news clippings., Dick Thornburgh papers, 1932-[ongoing] , AIS 1998:30, Archives Service Center, University of Pittsburgh., Gift of Dick Thornburgh, February 27, 1998., In May 1993 Dick Thornburgh returned to Washington, rejoining Kirkpatrick & Lockhart as counsel in their Washington Office. That role has enabled Thornburgh to devote over half his time to clients, and yet retain the opportunity to pursue other outside interests developed over the years. These interests have been many and varied. His foreign trips include visits to Taiwan, Russia, and several to Hong Kong, all regarding the rule of law. Trips to Guatemala (regarding governmental corruption), to Nigeria (regarding federalism, interstate relations and other governance issues), to Buenos Aires (on fighting corruption), are well documented. Other trips abroad concern his continued dedication to the rights of persons with disabilities. Other challenges include his appointment as Examiner in the WorldCom bankruptcy proceedings, the largest ever filed, and his choice in 2004 by CBS to conduct an investigation into the "60 Minutes Wednesday" segment on President Bush's service in the Texas Air National Guard. During the 1990s, he embarked upon a new mini-career on television as a legal commentator for CNN. Appearances related to the O.J. Simpson case, murders of JonBenet Ramsey and Chandra Levy, President Clinton issues, and others., Finding aid Available in repository and on Internet; http://digital.library.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/f/findaid/findaid-idx?type=simple;c=ascead;view=text;subview=outline;didno=US-PPiU-ais199830-17, Thornburgh, Dick.
