...highly tendentious article, "Radicals in Conservative Garb" (ESSAY, Aug. 11), Ezra Bowen has wrenched quotations from context and twisted history to attack the importance I have attributed to recovering a jurisprudence of original constitutional meaning. In so doing, TIME has overlooked the central issue -- whether a judge or Justice should interpret the Constitution according to its text, structure and history, or may a judge or Justice set these aside in order to effect his own vision of the good society.

Says he: "I never wanted to go to a big urban school. Amherst offered a good athletic program, and I wanted to play baseball. Alas, the Harvard team beat us my senior year...

It glided down the ship's grand staircase at the end of a 250-ft. tether through which it transmitted live images to the three scientists in Alvin's cramped cabin. There was nothing left of the staircase itself; like much of the Titanic's celebrated woodwork, it had long since been devoured by wood-boring...
...glimpse the ship's gymnasium. It went over the side and made an unsuccessful attempt to squeeze through portholes on the promenade deck. Said Ballard: "He has to go on a diet." There was an anxious moment as J.J.'s tether caught on a jagged piece of metal, but Bowen maneuvered the robot back and forth until it pulled free...
