Brooke
finds
happiness
i
Former Senator Edward
Brooke, the first Black U.S.
Senator since the Reconstruc
tion era, gives EBONY an ex
clusive interview about his happy
new life, in the October issue.
The new Edward Brooke, 65, is
happy to be a private citizen and
partner with the prestigious
O’Connor & Hannan law firm in
the nation’s capitol.
More than anything else, Brooke
is delighted about the special joy
he receives from his new family
comprised of 35-year-old wife An
ne and 3-year-old son Edward IV.
Six years ago Brooke suffered
through divorce proceedings and
unfavorable public notoriety that
resulted in the loss of his third bid
/ for office in 1978.
Brooke says today, “I really
have found personal happiness
now.
If 78 was the price I had to pay
for what I have now, then it was a
small price.”.
Brooke, who is a Republican,
also shares his thoughts about the
need for Blacks in the Republican
Party and the presidential bid of
the Rev. Jesse Jackson.
Thurgood Marshall:
Court pays lip service
WASHINGTON (UPI)-
Supreme Court Justice Thurgood
Marshall has criticized his
collegues on the nation’s highest
court for paying lip service to
correcting constitutional violations
by refusing to order strong
remedies.
Marshall, addressing judges of
the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals, said several rulings during
the court’s last term recognized
violations were occuring, but the
majorities in these cases did not
order changes to end them.
The speech, delivered in Har
tford, Conn., to the appeals court
that hears cases from New York,
Vermont and Connecticut, was
made available at the Supreme
Court.
Marshall said the cases
“illustrate a very disturbing pat
tern... The court seems to concede
in each case that important federal
rights are at issue and that they
may have been violated. It denies
the victims the only effective
remedies to those violations.
“When rights are violated,
courts should normally craft
remedies that attempt to make the
victim whole and deter future
violations,” he said.
Marshall, 7 6, a merpber of the
court’s liberal minority, has at-

THE NEW LIFE OF FORMER SENATOR EDWARD BROOKE Former Senator Ed

wife of five years, and his 3-year-old son, Edward IV.
tacked the conservative majority
for backtracking on rulings made
under the stewardship of the
previous chief just, Earl Warren.
In one case, Marshall said, the
court approved New York’s
preventive detention law for
juveniles, which allows % judge to
keep a minor detained for up to 17
days if the judge thinks there is a
“serious risk” the child will com
mit another crime.
While the high court recognized
detention exposes a child to prison
like conditions, possible violence
and sexual assault, it siad in
dividuals could pursue remedies in
lower courts if they felt injured by
the system.
“Given (the possible violence to
minors). I find it shocking-that
rather than make an assessment of
and offered a hollow remedy foi
the New York system, it instead
validated, the scheme as a whole
and offered a hollow remedy for
individaual abuses,” he said.
In a Vermont case, Marshall
said the court recognized lengthy
delays in processing Social Security
benefit terminations were causing
great hardship to the handicapped,
but said Congress, not the
judiciary must provide relief.

John Paul Stevens, Marshall
