...prestige and independence were also endangered. He might have added that even if he had survived impeachment, his own position as a Justice would have been untenable. As it is, the Justice Department is continuing its investigation of his affairs. (Mrs. Fortas believed that the phone in their Georgetown home was being tapped.) For the moment, at least, Fortas, like everyone else, seemed vastly relieved. The day after he resigned, he consoled himself with his violin and the soothing elegance of Mozart and Haydn...
Hands Off. The disclosures hit close to the apex of federal authority at a time when all authority is under challenge. They immediately became the major topic of conversation in Washington, from the corridors of the Capitol to Georgetown cocktail parties. Fortas' friends and fellow Democrats found little to say in his defense. Republicans generally adopted the President's hands-off attitude. Richard Nixon, whose attacks on the Supreme Court's liberal cast figured prominently in his campaign, has been assiduously mending fences with the high court of late...

A Washington Post columnist reported that Gorey was even spotted, notebook in hand, recording every splash one morning while Ethel bathed her eleventh child, Rory. Not so, says Gorey. He never carried a notebook into the bathroom...
They moved through a succession of homes?first in Charlottesville, then in the Georgetown section of Washington, and finally Hickory Hill in 1956?Bobby rising through the capital hierarchy, Ethel raising his children and presenting him with a new one almost every year. No matter how busy either of them became, they were never out of touch during the day. If Bobby was conducting hearings as a congressional committee counsel, Ethel would arrive in the morning, attend the hearings, drive home for lunch with the children, return for the afternoon hearings, then go back home and call her friends...
