Griffin Bell : A life in photos
Bell's speciality: conducting internal, page-turning investigations for big companies in trouble: E.F. Hutton, after its financial scandal; Exxon, after the Exxon Valdez oil spill in Alaska. His interest in the law: a product of his father, an Americus city councilman and county Democratic Party chairman. Here, Bell returns to Americus for Griffin Bell Day on October 13, 1977.
