There have been two traditional arguments is favor of literacy tests first, that anyone unable to read will not have access to information about elections, and second, that the test induces illiterates to learn to read and write. The first argument is inapplicable today, when 90.8 per cent of American homes are equipped with television sets and 91.5 per cent with radios. Nor does the second argument have any validity; a vote is not candy to be awarded for education or any other attainment, but a citizen's right...
...months' hard labor to each such suit. In a Montgomery, Ala., case, for example, the Government had to analyze 36,000 pages of voter applications and subpoena 185 witnesses; six lawyers worked a full year just to prepare the case for court.

One of the reasons academic political science doesn't often charge into problems of actual operations and policy is that the executive departments have slid out of sight in the last 20 years. You'd have to pry some doors open, but if you did, you could get an infinite amount...
Communism has proved a disillusionment to many of the peasants living in North Vietnam. Our evidence for this is the short-lived peasant uprising, which began on November 9, 1956. Their demands-non-interference, land reform, freedom to travel, access to information-are strikingly similar to those of the South Vietnamese Communists offer no happy alternative to the present situation of the Vietnamese...
