...combatants over a new Justice into disarray. Souter gave a commencement address at Daniel Webster College in Nashua, N.H., in 1976 in which he called affirmative-action rules "affirmative discrimination" and said the government has no place meddling in such initiatives. He flew across the state by helicopter to make ; sure protesters who were arrested for demonstrating against the Seabrook nuclear power plant were forced to serve actual jail terms rather than suspended sentences. He tends to rule in favor of the prosecution in criminal trials. But Souter is also a great supporter of environmental and consumer protection, of victims...

Fisher has installed a toll-free phone number to make Hermes products available "to any customer in Des Moines."

Now Collor must scramble...
...what little was known about his personal life in search of evidence to either calm their fears or justify their suspicions. Some wondered if the 50-year-old lifelong bachelor might be gay. (Friends assured them he is not.) Others speculated that Souter's streak of Yankee independence would make him a less than reliable vote for either side of the abortion issue. In a rambling television interview last week, Justice Thurgood Marshall, a last vestige of the high court's liberal wing, took the unusual step of sizing up in public a man who may soon sit alongside...
