...poll tax are adding Negroes to the voting rolls, while the old Harry Byrd machine, of which Smith is a prize cog, faces attack from all sides. Smith's district has been reapportioned to his disadvantage since the last election, now includes a large segment of liberally inclined Fairfax County, a suburb of Washington. Nonetheless, Smith's cause, like his equanimity, is far from lost.

Where there are too many heroes, there may be none in the end, for the essence of heroism is singularity. Lindbergh is perhaps the greatest of all American heroes, a machine-borne Icarus who did not fall...
...lower court was "too lenient" in merely ordering Providence's Grinnell Corp. to sell three subsidiaries after it was found guilty under the Sherman Act of monopolizing a segment of the burglar-alarm industry.
