...Tiernan, 38, and DiPrete, 39, are similar down to the horn-rimmed glasses they both wear. Both are Roman Catholics, lawyers, fathers of three-and uninspiring campaigners. There was little to distinguish their views on most issues. Neither announced a stand on Viet Nam until an independent "peace" candidate, Unitarian Universalist Minister Albert Perry, forced them into a choice (Perry got 2.7% of the vote).

Led by Chief Judge Levin, who is Jewish, the court is a diverse group that includes four Roman Catholics, two Protestants and a Unitarian Universalist-Judge Wade McCree Jr., a Negro whom many consider to be the most likely of his race, after Thurgood Marshall, to reach the Supreme Court. If he does, he will take with him some exceptional experience in the art of keeping cases moving. So efficient is the Eastern Michigan court that the backlog on its docket is just about the smallest...
