The article presents information on Chief Justice Abe Fortas. Justice Fortas became an important man, a confidant of Presidents and finally almost Chief Justice of the United States, by manipulations and circumventions much like those for which he is now castigated. Justice Fortas had to resign, because he had been guilty of an impropriety which made his continued presence on the Supreme Court embarrassing to him, to his fellow Justices and to the country. Fortas has been part of a vast maze of relationships in which some decent things are done but in which powerful individuals take advantage of the main chance, right up to the edge of ethical impropriety.
