The opinion
STEPHENS, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I agree with Judge BONE’S conclusions as detailed in his exhaustive review of this super-complicated litigation and join in the order contained in the last paragraph of the opinion. The whole subject matter from the beginning presented highly difficult legal questions, solvable in certainty only by the court with the last say. I thoroughly agree that Fahey v. Mallonee, 1947, 332 U.S. 245 , 67 S.Ct. 1552 , 91 L.Ed. 2030 , must be followed as indicated in the main opinion.
