...aspects of national life. This, and the revelations that led to the resignation of Abe Fortas from the Supreme Court, dictate closer scrutiny and higher standards for Justices than in the past. There were feelings in the Senate, never articulated openly, that Haynsworth was just not distinguished enough for the job. Said Illinois Republican Senator Charles Percy, who voted no: "I do not question Judge Haynsworth's ability or his honesty. But they are not enough. The times demand something more...
...arrogant few" dissenters. Such constant reference to that magic line of 51% of the people-whether friends above it or opponents below it-may end up looking like a form of insecurity. After the Senate rejected Judge Clement Haynsworth for the Supreme Court, the President observed, naturally enough, "I deeply regret this action." But then, as if bringing up reinforcements, he added: "I believe the majority of people in the nation regret it." A majority of the Senators, elected by a majority of their constituents, may have wondered whether they had suddenly joined the unsilent minority...
...always Joe Kennedy's emphatic wish that money never be discussed, at the family dinner table or in public. "It's just not an important enough matter to talk over," he said.

But when it comes to maintaining their political ascendancy and using money as effectively as the founder, the future is shadowed by doubt...
Early Saturday night, you see, I was off to a Poetry Reading. I hadn't been to a Poetry Reading since Robert Lowell came to Quincy House last spring. Now, I knew enough about Brautigan to understand that he wasn't Lowell. Hippies talked to me about Brautigan, and they rarely mention Lowell. Still, I was going to a Poetry Reading, and Lowell's erudite gruffness remained in my mind. I'd have to put on my cultural sport coat and practice furrowing my forehead. It seemed reasonable when the friend that I'd invited asked me, "Do I really...
