Washington By R de TOLEDANO Assignment

Washington-For weeks, Democrats and Republicans awaited the other shoe. Kennedy's appointment as Attorney General prompts bipartisan hope despite youth. The DOJ, created in 1870, houses the FBI, Immigration Service, and Bureau of Prisons, with 39,000 staff overall and 60-hour weeks for many lawyers. The Bureau faces corruption risks, while FBI reform under J Edgar Hoover modernized policing. The Immigration Service handles millions of inspections and deportation cases, and the Bureau of Prisons oversees 37 institutions and 23,000 prisoners under strict oversight. The Attorney General must supervise all, balancing legal workload, antitrust, civil rights, and tax cases amid vast federal land ownership and backlogged courts.
