...what you can do or where you can go if you don't mind who gets the credit." There is some irony in that. From the moment Thomas was nominated last July through his dramatic confirmation hearings, critics attributed his meteoric rise to affirmative action, tokenism or the narrow political calculations of George Bush. But now that the term is finished, Thomas alone can claim credit for one of the more obstreperous first-year performances on the Supreme Court in recent memory...

Unlike the other first-yearresidences, Greenough feels much like a"typical" college dorm. Long narrow hallways, tinyboxy rooms, and communal bathrooms are the normhere...
