Haynsworth Background Seen in Supreme Court Bid
Washington AP profiles Clement Furman Haynsworth Jr. as a cautious, experienced candidate for the Supreme Court appointment. The Greenville, South Carolina lawyer and fifth generation professional is described as traditional, law and order oriented, and emotionally attuned to desegregation era tensions. The piece notes his 12 years on the Richmond circuit court, occasional independence, and mixed votes on school desegregation decisions and attendance plans, with civil rights leaders calling some charges rhetoric rather than fact.
