...firm commitment to Europe, only to have their overture rejected. Furiously, Whitehall put its side of the story on record. At a luncheon in Paris on Feb. 4 with Britain's Ambassador to France, Christopher Soames, an avid pro-European who is Winston Churchill's son-in-law, De Gaulle-according to the British account-proposed that the two countries should have a summit meeting to talk over replacing the Common Market with a larger economic association run by a four-power inner directorate of Britain, France, West Germany and Italy. This grouping would also form the nucleus...
...taken up with an intricately choreographed, totally absurd mating dance set in motion around his fusty deathbed, as various relatives pursue each other in preposterous shifting triangles like the occupants of a French bedroom farce. They even fight a mock duel. Most kinetic is a cheerful, kindly son-in-law named Danby in whose house Bruno is dying.

Then dynamite destroyed a shed at the Grace Ranch, the property of Pete Licavoli, aging chieftain of Detroit's Mafia. On the night of July 22, a bomb thrown onto Joe Bananas' patio blew out part of a wall. All the buildings that have been attacked belong to Bonanno henchmen and acquaintances...

Fortas' opponents complained instead about his status as the appointee of a lame-duck President, and his role in enhancing the Warren Court's supposed softness on pornography and criminals. A typical objection came from Dirksen's son-in-law, Tennessee Senator Howard Baker: "In continuing to counsel the President on such matters as the Viet Nam war, the riots, legislative proposals and the 1966 State of the Union address, Justice Fortas not only has committed a judicial impropriety but also has flagrantly violated the traditional separation-of-powers...
