...interview last year, Ginsburg said, "Nino is the best colleague I've ever had. He's so thoroughly engaging." In a widely quoted joke, Scalia once replied "Ruth Bader Ginsburg" when asked whether he would want to be stranded on a desert island with New York Governor Mario Cuomo or Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe. At a dinner party at her house shortly after the flag-burning decision four years ago, Scalia came in, sat down at the piano and pounded out You're a Grand Old Flag.

The old parties will disappear. For the first time, alternation in government will be possible...
...snowshoes were still looking for hikers and campers stranded in Southern U.S. mountains; nine were airlifted out of Tennessee's Great Smoky Mountains National Park as late as Thursday. Economic damages seemed sure to climb well past an early guess of $800 million; in New York State, Governor Mario Cuomo estimated snow-removal costs alone at $120 million. If it was not "the storm of the century," survivors hope they never see the real...
