...Attorney General. Of 13 principal aides, including Guinier, only four so far can be clearly identified as Reno's picks. Many were in the pipeline before Reno was selected. Webb Hubbell, the Associate Attorney General, is Hillary Clinton's former law partner and President Clinton's frequent golf partner. But Hubbell swears loyalty to Reno, and they have become fast friends in a very short time. Hubbell says he is certain about her loyalty to Clinton, and that loyalty has been rewarded, he says, with a profound respect for her by the President. "The President is very interested...

Last Christmas they went water skiing in Jumby Bay, near Antigua. They go to Europe annually for conferences (49, as they totted them up for the FBI; Ruth may be the first Justice to speak Swedish). Who works harder? On a trip to Israel in 1977 Martin gathered up his suntan lotion...
...Ginsburgs have twice given up golf memberships because the clubs appeared to discriminate against minorities. They now tee off at the nondiscriminatory Army and Navy Club and at a Virginia resort where Ruth has been seen to spin her golf club around like the twirler she was at James Madison High School in Brooklyn, New York. She was also a cheerleader there, but since then there have been few sightings of her jumping up and down or with her hair not in her trademark...
