...week ago Sara Jane Moore, 45, switched her plea in a San Francisco courtroom from innocent to guilty of the charge of attempting to assassinate the President. Before he would accept Moore's new plea, Judge Samuel Conti reviewed testimony that she had fired a single shot at Ford as he left the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco on Sept. 22, missing him by only 5 ft.

Some of Nixon's appointees are of less distinction. U.S. District Judge Samuel Conti of San Francisco has a reputation with the bar for regressive rulings-including taking the highly unusual action of denying bail to four Selective Service defendants. Spencer Williams of the same court was found barely qualified by the A.B.A. On the Fifth Circuit, which covers much of the South, Joe McDonald Ingraham ranks as a less than distinguished choice; as a trial judge, he gave Muhammad Ali the maximum sentence of five years and a $10,000 fine for refusing to be drafted.
