...might be expected, Kennedy's case-by-case approach stirs neither great enthusiasm nor dead-end opposition in the Senate. Jesse Helms, North Carolina's conservative curmudgeon, once growled, "No way, Jose," at the prospect of Kennedy's nomination. But last week he allowed that Kennedy might make a "fine" Justice. Liberals are mostly being noncommittal, but they will have trouble taking back their comments during the Bork fight, when some identified Kennedy as the type of conservative they could accept.

Women, for their part, are no longer as willing to provide unquestioning -- and unpaid -- support for their spouses' career ambitions, a once hallowed given of corporate, academic and political life. Even the military can no longer count on blind obedience from officers' wives. Indeed, two women recently complained that brass...
