...President now has 85 vacancies to fill on the federal bench and 25 nominations waiting in the Senate for confirmation. Perhaps the two most prominent choices are James Buckley, 62, currently president of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, for the District of Columbia Circuit Court of Appeals and Berkeley Law Professor John Noonan, 59, for the Ninth Circuit in the Far West. The Administration has set up an elaborate process to examine candidates. Each receives a ten-page questionnaire. A daylong interview follows at the Justice Department. Further hurdles include review by a special Administration committee that meets each Thursday...
...with stifling the Crimson’s progress on the base paths—the danger proved short-lived. Centerfielder Brendan Akashian had advanced to third courtesy of a ground-ball single to left field with two outs, but the man who had put him there, right fielder Steve Buckley, was thrown out while attempting to steal second by freshman reliever Max Warren...
Billboard magazine does not publish a posthumous pop chart, but if it did, Elvis and Tupac would have an everlasting grip on the top slots. Hovering just behind them would be Jeff Buckley. Buckley was not widely known during his life, and his productivity after death, while impressive, does not yet approach that of Presley or Shakur. But careerwise, he does have a few things going for him. In 1995 he was named one of People's 50 Most Beautiful People. Two years later, on a spring day in Memphis, Tennessee, Buckley, 30, put down the guitar on which...

His pretty face and early death have made him a cult hero, while his songs--or one of his songs--have turned him into TV's hottest sound-track artist, the bard of the Very Special Episode. The cult came first, and it feeds off more than one tragedy. Buckley's father, '70s folk singer Tim Buckley, abandoned his mother, pianist Mary Guibert, before Jeff was born, and father and son ended up meeting just once, in 1975, two months before the elder Buckley died of a heroin overdose at age 28. Jeff never spoke...
...loose ends titled Songs to No One 1991-1992 (2002); a two-disc Live at Sin-é DVD of coffeehouse footage (2003); and, just in August, the 10th anniversary Grace: Legacy Edition, featuring the original album, a B-sides disc and yet another DVD. (A Buckley documentary, Amazing Grace, is currently making the film-festival rounds.) It's possible that this posthumous heap originated in an honest impulse--much of it was curated by Guibert--but packaging every bad video, throwaway cover and alternate take not only appears greedy; it also has the side effect of making Buckley seem undisciplined...
