concurring in the judgment.
Given the judgments of the Court in Woodson v. North Carolina, 428 U. S. 280 (1976), and in Roberts v. Louisiana, 428 U. S. 325 (1976),* each attained by a plurality opinion of Justices Stewart, Powell, and Stevens, in combination with respective concurrences in the judgment by Justices Brennan and Marshall, I concur in the judgment the Court reaches in the present case.
