Burger Named Chief Justice in Nixon Surprise
Warren E Burger, longtime Circuit Court judge from St Paul, was chosen by President Nixon as Chief Justice of the United States. The decision surprised many, aligning with Nixon’s favors but contrasting Burger’s prior reluctance to join the bench. Born 1907 in St Paul, Burger rose through law practice and government service, earning the nickname Admiral Burger for recovering millions in war surplus funds, and has been a Mayo Foundation trustee. He and his wife Elvera Stromberg live in Arlington, Virginia with two children, enjoying travel, painting, sculpture, and horses on a rural estate.
