The son of Italian immigrants, John Sr. and Mary Racanelli, he was raised in New York City and later in White Plains, New York. After high school, he enlisted in the United States Army Air Corps (now called the Air Force) and served as Lieutenant as an Aerial Navigator. He served in World War II and the Korean War for over 3 years in active duty. He was the first person in his family to attend college where he attended the University of California at Berkeley and later Hastings Law School. After college and law school, he started a private practice in San Francisco in 1953. In 1955, he moved to Sunnyvale and started practicing there. In his private practice, he specialized as a trial lawyer in all types of civil and criminal proceedings. His partners included the Honorable James Duvaras (1955 - 1963) and Anthony J. Treppel, Esq. (1963 - 1964). He was appointed to Superior Court Judge in Santa Clara County by Governor (Pat) Brown, Sr., and sworn in on October 16, 1964. He served in that capacity until he was appointed by Governor (Jerry) Brown, Jr. on May 6, 1977 to Presiding Justice, Court of Appeal, First Appellate District, Division One (succeeding Presiding Justice John B. Molinari). He was sworn in on June 3, 1977 and confirmed by electorate on November 7, 1978, and later reconfirmed by electorate on November 2, 1982. He retired from the bench on deferred retirement on January 31, 1991. Since his retirement, he has enjoyed his life with his wife of over 30 years, Betty Medsger. They live in New York City.

Book excerpt: INVESTIGATIVE REPORTERS & EDITORS (IRE) BOOK AWARD WINNER • The story of the history-changing break-in at the FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, by a group of unlikely activists—quiet, ordinary, hardworking Americans—that made clear the shocking truth that J. Edgar Hoover had created and was operating, in violation of the U.S. Constitution, his own shadow Bureau of Investigation. “Impeccably researched, elegantly presented, engaging.”—David Oshinsky, New York Times Book Review • “Riveting and extremely readable. Relevant to today's debates over national security, privacy, and the leaking of government secrets to journalists.”—The Huffington Post It begins in 1971 in an America being split apart by the Vietnam War . . . A small group of activists set out to use a more active, but nonviolent, method of civil disobedience to provide hard evidence once and for all that the government was operating outside the laws of the land. The would-be burglars—nonpro’s—were ordinary people leading lives of purpose: a professor of religion and former freedom rider; a day-care director; a physicist; a cab driver; an antiwar activist, a lock picker; a graduate student haunted by members of her family lost to the Holocaust and the passivity of German civilians under Nazi rule. Betty Medsger's extraordinary book re-creates in resonant detail how this group scouted out the low-security FBI building in a small town just west of Philadelphia, taking into consideration every possible factor, and how they planned the break-in for the night of the long-anticipated boxing match between Joe Frazier and Muhammad Ali, knowing that all would be fixated on their televisions and radios. Medsger writes that the burglars removed all of the FBI files and released them to various journalists and members of Congress, soon upending the public’s perception of the inviolate head of the Bureau and paving the way for the first overhaul of the FBI since Hoover became its director in 1924. And we see how the release of the FBI files to the press set the stage for the sensational release three months later, by Daniel Ellsberg, of the top-secret, seven-thousand-page Pentagon study on U.S. decision-making regarding the Vietnam War, which became known as the Pentagon Papers. The Burglary is an important and gripping book, a portrait of the potential power of nonviolent resistance and the destructive power of excessive government secrecy and spying.

This book was released on 1996-04-05 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Engineering within Ecological Constraints presents a rare dialogue between engineers and environmental scientists as they consider the many technical as well as social and legal challenges of ecologically sensitive engineering. The volume looks at the concepts of scale, resilience, and chaos as they apply to the points where the ecological life support system of nature interacts with the technological life support system created by humankind. Among the questions addressed are: What are the implications of differences between ecological and engineering concepts of efficiency and stability? How can engineering solutions to immediate problems be made compatible with long-term ecological concerns? How can we transfer ecological principles to economic systems? The book also includes important case studies on such topics as water management in southern Florida and California and oil exploration in rain forests. From its conceptual discussions to the practical experience reflected in case studies, this volume will be important to policymakers, practitioners, researchers, educators, and students in the fields of engineering, environmental science, and environmental policy.
