...news was doubly a surprise because other Justices had been considered for more likely to depart. Five occupants of the bench are over 70 and two, William Brennan, 75, and Thurgood Marshall, 72, are reportedly in less than robust health. President Reagan now has an unexpectedly early opportunity to begin his oft-promised ideological remolding of the court. His main criterion for candidates is clearly known, said White House Spokesman Larry Speaks, " He will not seek only candidates who necessarily agree with him on every position, but rather those who share one key view, the role of the courts...
Stewart has always relished his work. He never missed a day of oral arguments and often peppered attorneys with questions. His opinions are notably craftsmanlike, concise and crisply turned. An affable man away from the bench, his major interests aside from the law and his family (he has three children) are fishing and the Cincinnati Reds. During the 1973 playoffs between the Reds and the New York Mets, he was hearing arguments at the court and had his clerks slip him inning-by-inning, then batter-by-batter, reports.

But he is pretty much a bench warmer for the forces of darkness. The heavyweight heavies now are Zod, Ursa and Non (an unrecognizable Terence Stamp, Sarah Douglas and Jack O'Halloran), whom experts in yesterday's trivia will recall as the trio of traitors the good folks of Krypton compressed to the proportions of a flat rock and sent skimming over the ocean of space at the beginning...
...rookies played regularly, Joe Carrabino, starting at forward, and Monroe Trout, coming in off the bench. Trout led the squad in rebounds, while Carrabino placed second to all-Ivy swingman Donald Fleming in the scoring department. Speaking of the old and new of Harvard basketball, the IAB--which is nearly as old as Crimson superfan Henry Zimmerman--bit the dust at the end of the season. The hoopsters will move into a spanking new home in renovated Briggs Cage next year...
