University of California Berkeley Regional Oral History Office University of California The Bancroft Library Berkeley, California Morris M. Doyle AN ANTITRUST LAWYER: SIX DECADES AT McCUTCHEN, DOYLE, BROWN & ENERSEN, 1932-1992 With an Introduction by Burnham Enersen Interviews Conducted by Carole Hicke in 1991-1992 Copyright 1993 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a modern research technique involving an interviewee and an informed interviewer in spontaneous conversation. The taped record is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The resulting manuscript is typed in final form, indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Morris M.
