...release Mrs. Blau pointed the way to the wider use of this principle, by U.S. Communists and their friends. Since the day the Supreme Court decided that her refusal to answer was legal, a stream of Communists and people with Communist associations have faced down courts, grand juries and congressional committees with what Attorney General Herbert Brownell Jr. calls "those 14 magic words": "I refuse to answer upon the ground that it might tend to incriminate...
