BREYER SWORN IN AS 108TH COURT JUSTICE

Stephen Breyer was sworn in as the nation's 108th Supreme Court justice Wednesday at a private ceremony at Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist's Vermont summer home.

Breyer's wife, Joanna, was the only witness at the swearing-in, conducted by Rehnquist, said court spokeswoman Toni House.

Breyer replaces Justice Harry A. Blackmun, whose retirement took effect when Breyer took the two oaths.
