Uncertain future for Rehnquist seen by events ahead
Washington The health of Chief Justice William Rehnquist remains cloaked in mystery as chemotherapy and radiation for thyroid cancer continue. Three upcoming events may reveal the severity of his condition including the Supreme Court's return on November 29, the December 17 Christmas party, and President Bush's January 20 inauguration where the chief normally swears in the president. If absent at the inauguration it would mark only the ninth time a chief did not administer the oath, last done in 1963 after Kennedy's assassination.
