...Although you quoted me quite accurately as calling Judge Haynsworth a "mediocre slob" [Aug. 29], you did not add, as I did, that his appointment to the Supreme Court, in preference to such as Professor Freund or Judge Friendly, pleased me no end because Haynsworth, as a not quite bright conservative will have little or no influence on the court or the law, save with his own vote...

They are attracted to them by fear that they-we-won't accomplish much on our own. If you marry an ordinary slob, do it while you're young and innocent. But to marry an older man, he must be marvelous. A good man improves with age." Joanna is also quite clear-eyed about her motives: "Every young girl who marries an older man has certain well-developed areas of insecurity. There...
