...return of the intense, volatile Sadler, 53, came after long talks with Smith, American's real boss, whose pride was hurt when Sadler walked out. Sadler became president of American last January as Smith's heir apparent, quit after repeated run-ins with rival executives. Before he would return, he apparently obtained from Smith reassurances of his authority as president, including clear command of flight operations, personnel, marketing and advertising; his $70,000 salary may also have been sweetened...

...oaths for union leaders under the Taft-Hartley Act, Black tartly informed his colleagues that "the First Amendment forbids compromise." When the Court upheld the 1951 conviction of Communist leaders for teaching and advocating violent overthrow of the Government-thereby upholding the Smith Act, heir to World War I's Sedition Act-Black protested that the decision "waters down the First Amendment so that it amounts to little more than an admonition to Congress." He was trying to save principles, not Communists...
