...thousands of words of the rulings themselves was the difference between instinctive applause for the principle of civil rights reasserted and sober second thought about actual results achieved. All told, the opinions documented the new concept of the court's functions as laid down by Chief Justice Earl Warren. TIME this week sets forth the gist of the decisions, analyzes their individual and collective importance, notes the dissents and feeling of dismay, and brings a reminder that the court is composed of men. See the first six pages of NATIONAL AFFAIRS...
...Earl Warren, 14th Chief Justice of the U.S., is fond of a warm little story about three workmen constructing a building. A bypasser asked what they were doing.

A sardonic example of U.P. tightfistedness was an exchange one day between Atlanta, the U.P.'s southern division relay point, and Raleigh, N.C., where a staffer...
...Liberals. After last week's decisions the Christian Science Monitor headlined across three columns: SUPREME COURT PICKS ROAD OF LIBERALISM, and it seemed clearly apparent that the new court was following Earl Warren's signposts. This was the newest turn in as fast-moving a 20 years as the court has ever known-and some Washingtonians believed that it had taken the court farther leftward than at any time since Franklin Roosevelt's day. Roosevelt's most liberal court was built (from 1943 to 1946) around Justices Hugo Black, William Douglas, Frank Murphy and Wiley Rutledge...
