HOWEVER hard he tries, a President can rarely mold the Supreme Court to his ideological image. Richard Nixon may be an exception. With the appointment of only two Justices, he has already helped to blunt the judicial revolution that began in 1954, when Earl Warren wrote the court's unanimous decision outlawing school segregation.

His Pensacola hometown is considered something of a no-man's land far from the madding Democratic vote centers of Southern Florida. His opponents in last year's Democratic primaries were State Senate President John Mathews, Attorney General Earl Faircloth and Dade County Mayor Chuck Hall, three of the best-known men in the state. In a high-rolling state that likes politicos with pizazz, Askew is a nonsmoking teetotaler who devotes most of his spare time to Presbyterian Church activities.
