With Sandra Day O'Connor retired and his colleagues evenly divided, centrist Kennedy is the likely swing vote in tight cases. He began to play the role last term--with characteristic moderation.

Good news, procrastination preventers are standing by, if only you would ... well, that's an issue, isn't it? These nicheperts are part of a growing coalition of consultants who, unlike the all-you-can-eat practices, limit their work to bite-size pieces. They range from one-person shops doing half-day workshops at $1,750 a throw to boutique firms signing on for six-month gigs...
