...Chief Judge John R. Brown of the Fifth Circuit says that Carswell has "the ideal combination of physical vigor and dynamic personality." He is not, says Brown, "a neutral spirit." In contrast to his pleasant, gregarious manner off the bench, Carswell's decision-writing style is crisp and cautious. New York University Associate Law Professor Leroy Clark, a black former Legal Defense Fund lawyer in Florida, calls Carswell "very bright." But, adds Clark, "he was probably the most hostile judge I've ever appeared before. He was insulting to black lawyers; he rarely would let me finish...
Most white students were cautious but resigned. "We have to put up with it," said Tommy Miller, a white ninth-grader at the formerly all-black N. D. Taylor High School. Nor were all the blacks enthusiastic about the change. "I would still rather be at Taylor," said Wallace Kohn, a black senior at the city high school. "I had my privileges there."

Enders, is chairman of the American Academy of Pediatrics committee that is drawing up vaccination schedules for children. In its next revision, Katz insists, there will be "no recommendation banning mass vaccination programs for smallpox." That means no widespread change in the current practice of vaccinating infants between six and nine months of age. However, vaccination is three times as likely to cause severe illness in the first...
