...know who has stirred up the people of Ohio to threaten me to vote for Haynsworth or face retaliation," he said. Declaring his independence from all outside pressures, Saxbe added: "I will not jump through a hoop for industrial fat cats or labor leaders," and in the end he voted no. So did Oregon's Mark Hatfield, who angrily complained that conservatives had threatened to oppose him in the next primary...
...Haynsworth defeat will not end Nixon's efforts to remake the Supreme Court along less activist lines. The President said that he would name a new nominee when Congress reconvenes in January, and promised another strict constructionist like Haynsworth. "The Supreme Court needs men of his legal philosophy to restore the proper balance," said Nixon. Scott, trying to heal the sectional split over Haynsworth, said he hoped that Nixon's next nominee would also be a Southerner. He would probably have a better chance; White House aides believe far fewer Republicans would be willing to buck the President...
...opposite, of course, is the unsilent minority, which Spiro Agnew, who has been running regular Thursday-night beat-the-press shows, defines as "an arrogant few" dissenters.

"There is a crying need for the Supreme Court to be lifted above controversy and suspicion. I also wondered what effect a condonation of Judge Haynsworth's actions would have on the judiciary at large. I could only...
...diplomat. I am a family man, and I miss my family," Lodge explained. Lodge probably would have stayed on if he had seen any sign of movement in the talks. An exponent of the theory that the war will fade away rather than end with a formal settlement, he became convinced that the Communists have no desire to seek an agreement. They are not likely to do so, he thinks, unless the South Vietnamese forces prove their capacity to carry on the war indefinitely. They would require continued massive American support and that, Lodge believes, would be forthcoming...
