...recognized sculptor need not bear a striking resemblance to a natural object. Whether or not the decision affected the course of art, it sharply changed the official practices of the U.S. Customs Bureau. But in all the brouhaha, Bird came to seem more the epitome of an era than the creation of any one man, and Brancusi's full achievement came to be scanted...

Several law professors discount Burger in favor of Black, 83, who shaped much of the court's doctrine during the Warren era. "He is the only man whose philosophy will appeal to a majority of old and new members," says the University of Chicago's Philip Kurland.
