The swing men are Felix Frankfurter, 73, Tom Clark, 56, and John Marshall Harlan, 57 Frankfurter, the perky sparrow, brilliant but baffling, is still disliked by many conservatives who originally fought his appointment, and is now distrusted by many liberals who feel he has betrayed them. As a general rule, he would rather decide a case...
