Richard Nixon proudly unveiled his new Chief Justice, Warren Burger, in an East Room spectacular last May attended by live television cameras and the highest ranks of his Administration. There was no such ceremonial fuss last week as he named his first Associate Justice to the Supreme Court. In the press room at Laguna Beach, 17 miles from the western White House at San Clemente, Press Secretary Ronald Ziegler almost perfunctorily announced that Nixon had appointed South Carolina's Clement Furman Haynsworth, chief judge of the Fourth Circuit of the U.S. Court of Appeals, to fill the seat vacated...

Standing on the lifeless, rock-studded surface he could see the earth, a lovely blue and white hemisphere suspended in the velvety black sky. The spectacular view might well help him place his problems, as well as his world, in a new perspective...
