...making his second appointment (his first: Abe Fortas, generally pegged as a liberal) and the problem of deciding whether to seek someone with a philosophy similar to Clark's or to reinforce the liberals' slender majority. There was the usual speculation about Government figures (Labor Secretary Willard Wirtz and Congressman Wilbur Mills), academicians (Harvard Law School's Paul Freund), and Texas friends (Houston Attorney Leon Jaworski and Federal Judge Homer Thornberry).

Connor predicted an expanding economy, but the only cliché he dared use to buttress his faith was that the Government would continue "a sound mix of fiscal and monetary policies."
