...easy for many Republican Senate leaders. Haynsworth has turned out to be more than they bargained for as a political problem, and less than they are willing to accept as a Supreme Court Justice. Nixon's nominee has a pedestrian record as a jurist, one that unions view as anti-labor and civil rights workers as ante bellum. Some of his financial dealings raise the specter of Fortas-like improprieties, different though the cases are. All that was known, and seemingly surmounted, during the initial weeks of Senate hearings on his nomination. Then a fresh round of G.O.P. grumblings...
Concentration of Critics. Still, the preferred life style is by no means all drugs and sex. Almost all of the freshmen still believe in the institution of marriage, and a majority continue to view religion as an important part of their lives. As for careers, less than half admitted that making money was an important goal. A majority plan to enter the professions; almost half said that they intend to teach...

They cost the Federal Government only about $50 per head in aid a year, a level far lower than in many white communities. Then the reservation was made into a regular Wisconsin county, tax exemptions were cut off, and Indians who occupied land were allowed to buy or rent it. In the eight years since termination, many have become dead weights...
