...Nixon and Attorney General John Mitchell, who supervised the Administration's search for a new Justice, Haynsworth has ideal credentials. It is true that he would be a WASP filling a seat that has been traditionally Jewish since 1916, but Nixon never promised to abide by that custom. Privately, the President says that he does not consider that there is a Jewish, Catholic or Negro seat on the court. Haynsworth is a sitting federal judge who, at 56, can expect at least ten or 15 years on the Supreme Court bench. His decisions have been moderate to conservative...
Preparing for 1972. Some critics thought that the choice was entirely too ideal from Nixon's political point of view-which may account for the absence of panoply at the appointment. Haynsworth will be the first Southern addition to the Supreme Court since the civil rights upheaval began 15 years ago.

We are selling the Sun-Times as a paper that is changing." Adds Dedmon: "Because of the changes, you can read any of the four papers today and be reasonably well-informed. That wasn...
Citing Gallup polls going back to 1943, Smith says that the median number of children considered ideal by non-Catholic American women has always been more than two. Well-educated, middle-and upper-class women usually want fewer children than poor women. But "on the average, all parents desire more children than the number required to maintain the population equilibrium." Birth control devices are already widely available to all but a tiny fraction of U.S. citizens. Smith declares, but -really effective population control cannot be achieved until there is a change in society's attitude toward procreation. As things...
