...Justices, the third highest presidential record* after Washington's ten and F.D.R.'s nine. Still attuned to senatorial psychology (he voted to confirm all seven nominees considered during his Senate years), L.B.J. knows enough to stay away from any unacceptable nominee. But beyond that, there is an ocean of qualities and qualifications to contemplate. The task is all the more vital since he may well determine the future makeup of the entire court...

...young playwright's talents in his more golden days. To rediscover himself, Grant heads for the Caribbean to go skindiving. In addition to a shark or two, he spears beautiful Lucky Videndi, and as he tries to work out a modus vivendi with her, he alternates between ocean and bed. In fact, Jones devotes so much of the book to plumbing such depths that the reader gets a queasy feeling of sea-sackness...
