...reasons are varied. For one thing, many Americans paid little attention to the rhetoric and ceremony at Helsinki or the crowds that cheered Ford as he joined in an impromptu folk dance in Bucharest. Residents of Los Angeles were more concerned over their inept baseball Dodgers. No speech in Helsinki could have distracted New Yorkers from grumbling about the city's financial crisis. Where there was a response, it seemed small and partisan. In Cleveland, only about a fifth of the crowds at the city's annual All Nations Festival gathered to hear Dr. Michael Pap, director...

A native of Bucharest, Rumania, Bickel emigrated to New York in 1939, manned a machine gun with the U.S. infantry in Italy and France and graduated summa cum laude from Harvard Law School after the war. Later he clerked for Supreme Court Justice Felix Frankfurter, who molded his approach to the law. Politically liberal, Bickel backed Robert Kennedy for President in 1968 and defended the New York Times in the Pentagon papers case in 1971, but often stunned liberal friends with his judicially...
