...opposing Jaworski's petition for bypassing the appeals court, Presidential Consultant Charles Alan Wright agreed that the issues were "exceedingly important" but argued in vain that this only meant that the dispute must "be decided wisely" rather than "hurriedly." Warning against any "rush to judgment," Wright's brief cited the irritation of the Justices when they were pushed into quicker than normal decisions. In one instance, a "rushed decision" was later reconsidered by the court and changed. The Justices, however, apparently saw an overriding public duty to act with dispatch this time. Another consideration: the court would have...
Kissinger, of course, will accompany Nixon on the trip, although some State Department hands would prefer that he stay home and attend to an overflowing In box. While he was away, Deputy Secretary Kenneth Rush, 64, the department's No. 2 man, moved from the State Department to the White House (see ECONOMY & BUSINESS). In addition to replacing Rush, who ran the department while the boss was away, Kissinger needs to find new Under Secretaries for economics and security assistance.

Last week's bombs, made of 200-250 lbs. of gelignite, had been packed into three cars parked at curbs. They had been timed to explode at a peak rush hour, and there was no doubt that they were clearly meant to kill as many as possible. The force of the blasts hurled bodies through glass storefronts and left others grotesquely fused or mutilated. Limbs lay scattered about. One dead woman was found with parts of a car engine embedded in her back. Another victim, his leg twisted and bleeding, lay pleading, "I'm Tom O'Reilly...
