Battling all the way, the old man was determined to miss as little court business as possible, though his appearances on the bench for oral arguments were constantly interrupted by spasms of pain. Two weeks ago, on a day when no arguments or conferences were scheduled, he and his wife flew to New York City. Rusk confirmed the Walter Reed prognosis -with one significant addition.

Next week the Justices will return to start the work of the fall term. Despite their custom of taking up old business first, they plan to hear oral arguments on only two of the eleven cases in October.
