...American League from 1938 to 1947, agrees. "I've been mobbed, cussed, booed, kicked in the ass, punched in the face, hit with mud balls and whisky bottles, and had everything from shoes to fruits and vegetables thrown at me ... An umpire should hate humanity." Ernie Stewart, a wartime umpire, laments the loneliness that goes with the job: "Every city is a strange city; you don't have a home." Bill McKinley, a 19-year man, thinks of the jeers and catcalls as a kind of minor league tryout: "Some fellows never made it because they couldn...
...bass playing is at times superb, and probably Ron Wood's; elsewhere it is merely workmanlike, and probably Bill Wyman's. Over the years the Stones have acquired a nonpareil corps of sidemen, and sax Bobby Keys, harmonica Sugar Blue, and keyboards Nicky "Jamming with Edward" Hopkins and Ian Stewart perform with their customary elan. The production and mix are dazzling. Only the guitars are inadequate; if the rhythm guitar and short fills rock as well as anyone's, the leads are, unfortunately, hopeless. Whether they are Keef's or Woodie's is irrelevant; neither one, apparently, can manage...
...rostrum?a far cry from oldtime conventions where delegates lustily bargained, brawled and demonstrated to choose a nominee.

...Stewart also rejected the argument that restrictions on abortion force women to observe the doctrines of particular religious faiths. Said he, with a touch of casuistry: "That the Judaeo-Christian religions oppose stealing does not mean that a state or the Federal Government may not . . . enact laws prohibiting larceny." The court majority, Stewart emphasized, was not declaring the Hyde Amendment to be wise social policy-if it did, "not every Justice who has subscribed to the judgment of the court today could have done so"-but only that Congress did not violate the Constitution by enacting...
...dissent, Justices Stewart and William Rehnquist furiously argued that the Constitution permits no discrimination of any kind between races. By the majority's logic, wrote Stewart in the dissent that he read aloud on the day of the decision, "the Government implicitly teaches the public that the apportionment of rewards and penalties can legitimately be made according to race-rather than according to merit or ability." He concluded bitterly: "There are those who think that we need a new Constitution, and their views may some day prevail. But under the Constitution we have, one practice Sin which Government...
