What would happen behind the scenes of the Supreme Court if its members had to induct six young New Dealers is a subject to pique reportorial imagination. Last week several laymen had the opportunity of witnessing a comparable spectacle when black-haired, round-faced John Biggs Jr. of Delaware took office as a member of the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals (Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware...
