...painful years, the symbolic measure of racial progress in the U.S. has been the rate at which Southern school officials have stopped requiring black children to attend separate public schools. That gauge is too narrow, and may be unfair to the South, since the entire nation has failed the test. Now, finally, after more prodding from the Supreme Court, the last of the holdout school districts are under direct orders to desegregate. No one is certain just how they will react as Dixie's school bells signal the start of the new academic year, which in some cases will...

The agreement holds promise of a vast new market opening to the East. Today, with Japanese exports rising, and with the growth of protectionist tendencies in the U.S., the Communist markets are an attractive possibility...

Sweeping policymaking by the court, he contends, not only displaces the proper functions of legislatures but also seriously hampers the effectiveness of the court itself. In a book published this year, The Supreme Court and the Idea of Progress, he carried his philosophical argument to its most controversial conclusions. Bickel suggested that the Warren Court's reapportionment decisions were not only wrong in concept but ineffective in result...
