Ambush. The Japs' southernmost fleet suffered least from U.S. aerial pounding during its approach, and reached the scene of battle first. The first-quarter moon had set early, and the morning darkness was deep in Surigao Strait. At the southern end, squadrons of PT boats lay in ambush. As the Huso and Yamasiro entered the narrows with their screen, the PTs attacked.

Broadly speaking, the Black school would usually uphold Congress, as representing the new will of the people; while the Frankfurter school would hold fast to previous law and hoary precedent. Not since May 1936 had the Supreme Court overturned a law of Congress...
