- <p> DIED. Lloyd Garrison, 93, blue-blooded New York City lawyer
- whose sense of noblesse oblige led him to six decades of public
- service; in New York City. Garrison served on commissions for
- politicians as diverse as Herbert Hoover and Mario Cuomo.
- Chosen by President Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s to be the
- first chairman of the National Labor Relations Board, Garrison
- issued a ruling that held that the representatives of the
- majority of employees could bargain on behalf of all, a concept
- that became a key part of the National Labor Relations Act.
- Garrison was a partner in the powerhouse law firm Paul, Weiss,
- Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison. In the 1950s he helped defend J.
- Robert Oppenheimer before a review board after the physicist had
- been stripped of his security clearance. The self-effacing
- Garrison once said, "I like to be of use, but I don't
- consciously go out to serve."
