After an all-night session, a haggard Defferre emerged to admit failure, and with it little incentive to continue his own candidacy. He never had any chance of beating De Gaulle. But his federation would at least have helped move France toward a two-party system, which many think is essential if the old chaos is not to follow the demise of Gaullism in France. In the wake of Defferre's failure, it was symptomatic that Paris was talking about the possible candidature of onetime Premier Antoine Pinay. Pinay would appeal to the pro-Atlantic, anti-Gaullist conservative vote...
Justice Black was equally aghast: "I like my privacy as well as the next one, but I am nevertheless compelled to admit that government has a right to invade it unless prohibited by some specific constitutional provision." Finding no such specific covering privacy, Black, who is often accused of scorning "judicial restraint," proceeded to rake his brethren for imposing their subjective feelings on a legislature.

...first Commencement, members of the graduating class will deliver orations in Latin and English; the President, seated in his ancient Tudor chair, will admit Bachelors to the "fellowship of educated men," and recipients of doctoral degrees to the "ancient and universal company of scholars."

Most people's problems were apparently solved with some ease; "usually five to ten interviews spaced at weekly intervals served to resolve their immediate difficulties or at least...
...dead sister's small son and daughter. As decreed by custom in a stifling provincial town, she takes the bereft children and her handsome brother-in-law Ramiro (Carlos Estrada) under her roof. She rejects another suitor to fulfill what she sees as her duty, but cannot admit that Ramiro attracts her. Secretly she pores, moist-lipped and breathless, over a packet of impulsive love letters he wrote to her sister years earlier, yet is offended when the man himself appears in his undershirt looking flagrantly virile. When Ramiro proposes to her, she spurns his suggestion as "distasteful." When...
