1973 court name ROE [I was thinking tennis player Cox]
Hot season for a Parisian ETE

What if, instead of the ubiquitous ETE meaning summer in French, we clued it "
Gam end"? (Science clues are usually under represented anyway. Or "d'ete" which means a twill fabric in English. Or "make f festive [fete]." Or "give p a name [Pete].")

Given the theme of presidential cabinet secretaries, not to mention Roe v. Wade, I think Samuel A. Donaldson might be Sam Donaldson. I thought the same about five months ago when the LAT published another Donaldson offering.
