- <p> HOSPITALIZED. Lewis Powell, 81, retired U.S. Supreme Court
- Justice; with pneumonia; in Jacksonville. The even-tempered
- Southern jurist often played the role of a swing voter during
- his tenure on the court from 1972 to 1987. His central
- importance was underscored by the protracted struggle to
- replace him: first with Robert Bork, then with Douglas Ginsburg
- and finally with Anthony Kennedy.
