Preparing for 1972. Some critics thought that the choice was entirely too ideal from Nixon's political point of view-which may account for the absence of panoply at the appointment. Haynsworth will be the first Southern addition to the Supreme Court since the civil rights upheaval began 15 years ago. Whatever the judge's qualifications, his appointment serves as partial payment by the Administration for the efforts of South Carolina's Strom Thurmond and others, who held five Southern and Border states for the G.O.P. against George Wallace's third-party depredations. Moreover, the choice...
Murdered Mistresses. A dull day! The very thought would make Hecht and MacArthur spin in their rolltop desks. Their "supermen with soiled collars" were a callous, cynical lot, born of an era when circulation wars raged and when a condemned man was not simply hanged but, as one daily bannered, JERKED TO JESUS. Armed with phony search warrants, police badges and wiretapping devices, reporters got the story one way or the other-usually the other.

"Tony Boyle and his associates thought they owned the union," said Yablonski after his nomination victory last week. "Now at long last he knows he misjudged the men who belong to this union." Although election odds as of now favor Boyle, dissatisfaction among rank-and-file miners is still growing. The price of Boyle's misjudgment could...
...materialism has a claim on Greene's highly singular sympathies-a strong contributing cause to Greene's distaste for the U.S. character, which is liable to pop up petulantly on any occasion. America, after all, is a place where leprosy, torture, martyrdoms, squalor and fear are not thought to be the common lot of man, and Americans, in their base way, are content that this should...
