''Those appointed to the federal bench for life,'' he says, ''should be the best the legal profession has to offer. Too many clearly are not.'' While the Senate prepared to consider Manion last week, the House was pondering the arduous prospect...
...flight.'' The commission's reluctance to assign personal blame, while excoriating the agency's ''flawed process,'' caused one commissioner, Caltech Physicist Richard Feynman, to seek stronger language.
