Rehnquist voted alone for the right of segregated private schools to tax-exempt status, and in the 33 cases where he voted in favor of a race discrimination complainant, 31 were so clear the court was unanimous, the study said. In 14 civil rights cases where he cast the crucial vote, he went against the civil rights litigants, it contended...

Think tanks are privately funded, nonprofit, tax-exempt foundations dedicated to public-policy research. Traditional ones may be slightly to the right or to the left of center, but they have made a show of evenhandedness in presenting their research. In the depths of their Washington buildings, ideas simmered until they percolated into books and monographs that laid the foundation for legislation. "These groups," says James A. Smith, a historian at the Twentieth Century Fund in Manhattan who is writing a book on public-policy organizations, "were inspired by the belief that people of divergent political viewpoints and interests could...

Last year hard-liners like Richard Perle asserted that SDI was exempt from the treaty's constraints on development and testing because it is based on exotic technologies unavailable in 1972. This Philadelphia-lawyerly reading was hotly disputed, not only by the Soviets but by the American negotiators who helped draft the treaty as well. It would in effect render the ABM treaty meaningless and open the way to a defensive arms race in space. That is just what the Pentagon wants and what the Soviets are determined to prevent. After & months of wrangling, Shultz persuaded Reagan to adopt...
