...10th round is when Ali goes to work. Back on his toes, Ali will present a moving target and Holmes will miss more and more. Once he decides that Holmes is exhausted, say the 11th or 12th round, Muhammad will start to plant himself and put some weight behind his blows. Somewhere in the next two rounds the fight will be stopped, with Holmes failing to answer any of Ali's flurries...

Interest rates, which have been creeping up in recent weeks, are likely to continue rising, as the Federal Reserve attempts to remain within its 4% to 6½% annual growth target for money.

But Douglas spends more time twitting colleagues than talking about the workings of the court. A favorite target is longtime ideological foe Felix Frankfurter. Douglas says that Justice Frankfurter, brilliant, gregarious, but insecure, had the arrogant habit of dropping messages at the feet of court pages-as if physical contact with the unanointed would desecrate the sanctity of the conference room. Douglas tells of a near fistfight between...
