Clearly, he will still be able to create a court of so-called "strict constructionists." An aide has spoken grandly of "a Nixon court," outlasting its creator and mirroring his views for a decade or more. But there is an obligation that goes beyond that consideration, an obligation to the court itself that rests not on the number of votes the President can now change but on the caliber of two men he is replacing...

The obvious solution -making both contraceptives and abortion cheaper and more available-would reduce the birth rate to below the magic 2.1. The principal question-raised anew last month by Milton Eisenhower and ex-Senator Joseph Tydings, founders of the Coalition for a National Population Policy-is whether Americans can be persuaded to want fewer children. A recent Gallup poll showed that the trend is in that direction: the percentage favoring large families (four or more children...
