...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...
...bench outside the county jail in Waukegan, Ill., last month, Attorney Charles Wilson tried to console Roger Hubbard, 36. Hubbard's wife Carol, 30, who was five months pregnant, was being held in jail on charges stemming from a shoplifting case, and Hubbard could not afford the $23,000 bail.

The work I do is in no way inferior to that of a graduate student or Ph.D.," Se-jin says. "It may take me longer and I may not see the interesting results as quickly," he says modestly, "but my work is just...
...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...
