DIED. Clement F. Haynsworth Jr., 77, federal appeals-court
judge whose nomination by Richard Nixon to the U.S. Supreme Court
was rejected by the Senate in 1969; in Greenville, S.C. Although
the Senate Judiciary Committee voted for Haynsworth's nomination
to a seat vacated by Abe Fortas, the full Senate turned him down
55 to 45 after civil rights groups and labor charged he was
insensitive to minorities and working people. He continued to serve
as chief judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit
before retiring to senior judge status in 1981.
