...exercise in satellite democracy. On Ellis Island, Chief Justice Warren Burger led the new Americans, live and remote, in reciting the Oath of Allegiance. Off-camera, Burger was followed by U.S. District Court Judge Mark A. Costantino, the son of parents from Rome and Naples, who exhorted the crowd with a more plain-spoken vision of citizenship: "Take a real good look at each other. What do you see?
