In his only public comment, he noted, only half-facetiously, that his "anger and outraged silence" might cause ulcers. The ulcers are likely to proliferate when the Senate reconvenes. All but inconceivable as it seemed a few weeks ago, it is now at least a possibility that Abe Fortas will be the first Chief Justice-designate since 1795 to be denied his seat...
