...Representative Beck, onetime Solicitor General, recalled, however, that "nearly 25 years after the enactment of the Missouri Compromise, the Supreme Court in the Dred Scott case finally concluded it was invalid." Judge Clark anticipated his critics with an analysis of all the other amendments in an effort to prove that the 18th constituted such a large and extraordinary a grant of power as to differentiate it from all others. But a Supreme Court opinion often cited last week to show the weight of custom in legislative ratification: "A long acquiescence in repeated acts ... is evidence that those matters have been...

If the cortex goes, only hope, now demonstrated, is the Swingle-Pfiffner hormone...

If they can avoid the danger of accepting only high scholastic averages as a criterion, and still not go afield with vague demands for "qualities of leadership" they will escape using two standards that often prove to be anything but uniform. As far as possible, personal contact with the candidates would seem to suggest a good beginning for a sound judgment of their worth...
