World and Nation
Bork’s chances remain
in doubt after testimon
WASHINGTON (AP) — After
the first week of his confirmation
hearings, Robert H. Bork’s chances
of becoming a Supreme Court jus
tice remain as much in doubt as the
effect his extraordinary five days of
testimony packs for future nomi
nation fights.
As the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee prepares to hear from Bork’s
backers and detractors in the hear
ings’ second phase, key questions are
unanswered:
• Will the impressions Bork cre
ated in his bid to win approval by a
majority of the committee’s 14 mem
bers be bolstered or eroded as the
hearings continue?
• What effect will the committee’s
vote, still weeks off, have when the
nomination reaches the full Senate?
• Has the Senate now established
beyond a doubt the propriety of
asking a Supreme Court nominee
about his or her judicial ideology
and political beliefs, and then voting
based on those views?
• Has Bork’s willingness to pro
vide answers to such queries, a break
from recent precedent, set the
model for future nominees?
Among the committee’s eight
Democrats and six Republicans,
Bork appears likely to win the sup
port of five Republicans and attract
negative votes from five Democrats.
Bork’s fate in the committee then
would be determined by three Dem
ocrats and one Republican still
claiming to be on the fence — Rob
ert Byrd of West Virginia, Dennis
DeConcini of Arizona, Howell Hef
lin of Alabama and Arlen Specter, a
Republican from Pennsylvania.
DeConcini and Specter asked
Bork the toughest questions, but
Byrd, the Democrats’ leader in the
Senate, is considered the most likely
of the four to cast a negative vote.
The often-contentious atmo
sphere that permeated the Senate
hearing room as Bork testified is not
likely to dissipate this week.
Numerous groups already have
spent millions lobbying for and
against Bork.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The
Reagan administration incorrectly

Treaty to allow expanded U.S. “Star

Historian's research of executions Yet, Y

“Believe me, the stress is awful,” Espy, who has ul

“I’m depressed half the time.”
