Local party leaders and contributors were enlisted to threaten to cut off Senators' support. Cabinet members warned of possible lost patronage. Bearing down on Republican William Saxbe of Ohio, a White House operative ordered Ohio loyalists to "look into his personal finances." The order was canceled, but not before Saxbe got wind of it. He was enraged. "I do not know who has stirred up the people of Ohio to threaten me to vote for Haynsworth or face retaliation," he said. Declaring his independence from all outside pressures, Saxbe added: "I will not jump through a hoop for industrial...
...constructionist like Haynsworth. "The Supreme Court needs men of his legal philosophy to restore the proper balance," said Nixon. Scott, trying to heal the sectional split over Haynsworth, said he hoped that Nixon's next nominee would also be a Southerner. He would probably have a better chance; White House aides believe far fewer Republicans would be willing to buck the President twice.

He has been with the talks since they started in the Johnson Administration under Ambassador Averell Harriman and, says Lodge, "no one knows more about the issues than Phil-and no one can read between...
...White Mass. Last week the clan that has grown so practiced at funerals over the decade gathered at St. Francis Xavier Church in Hyannis. At Rose's request, the requiem was a white Mass-celebrated in white vestments to emphasize the Resurrection. Ted Kennedy delivered a brief eulogy to his father, reading from The Fruitful Bough, a privately printed book of essays about the ambassador. Boston's craggy Richard Cardinal Gushing, who has married, baptized and buried the Kennedys for 24 years, delivered a twelve-minute "personal tribute to the character and genius of a longtime friend...
