Chief Justice Ill But Not Seriously Chief Justice Ill

The chief justice remains ill yet determined to finish work before the court’s summer recess, which ends in October. He has faced an earlier attack at Murray Hill two years ago that caused temporary incapacitation and led to a diet that reduced his weight. He has attended public events recently, including the Ericsson monument unveiling, but declined many evening invitations. Last week he acted as a judge at a national oratorical event in Washington, which required him to climb stairs, a factor some attribute to his current condition. Physicians' orders kept him away for two days, but news of his illness could not emerge until he missed a supreme court session. Colleagues are concerned given his recent activity and weariness.
