...ground swell of public opinion against Robert Bork's nomination to the Supreme Court is understandable ((NATION, July 13)). His reliance on original intent precludes the notion that the Founding Fathers originally intended us to evolve as a people into something better than we were. The nation, and indeed the President's legacy, would be better served by a Justice who views the Constitution as a living part of the present rather than a relic from the past...
...June, James Vernell Moore, a federal-prison inmate who tested positive for exposure to the AIDS virus and who bit two guards, was convicted by a Minneapolis federal jury of two counts of assault with a deadly weapon: his mouth and teeth.

Some months earlier, he had risked his career and his marriage of 17 years on a passionate affair with the murder victim. After a month or so, she jilted him and took...
...standpoint of intellect, temperament and training." A former Yale University law professor who was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia by Reagan in 1981, Bork commands respect for his intellect even among those who deplore his devotion to the concept of "original intent." For decades Bork has been a chief exponent of the view that judges should render decisions in keeping with the intention of the Constitution's framers, avoiding the articulation of new rights not explicitly set out in the text.
