...Movement," Archie Epps would disagree with Gordon's criterion that is independent of larger society. Epps points out that even a radical American Negro group like the African Methodist Episcopal Church (AME) had to work through society. For Epps argues that there is an "intricate network of connections which bind Negro culture and history to the larger society and visa versa." The AME had to draw upon Christian egalitarian ideas of the larger society to justify their positions. In parallel fashion, developing countries would face many problems breaking connections with industrialized powers because of traditional economic and cultural ties...
Those offenses are, of course, flagrant and inexcusable. Powell has cavalierly misused the privileges accorded him as Chairman of the House Education and Labor Committee. Even more serious, Powell has demonstrated in his dealings with the court an unrepentant contempt for judicial process and for the laws which bind the rest of the citizens of this country.

...Post Office is also caught in a personnel bind. The generation of workers and supervisors recruited in the hungry '30s, when civil services attracted many qualified young men, is now retiring.

The last time such a maneuver put the court in a bind was in the Depression 1930s, when the justices ducked a ruling that would have cut their salaries. In such cases, Alabama law requires the Governor to appoint a special court of five lawyers to hand down a decision. Governor Benjamin M. Miller had no trouble rounding up the required number of lawyers and, once on the bench...
Whatever the truth, Bailey has the state in a bind. Unwilling at first to believe DeSalvo, state officials asked him five key questions about the crimes. To protect his client's privilege against selfincrimination, however, Bailey first made the interrogators agree not to use the answers. Thus, when DeSalvo insistently babbled his guilt in the stranglings, the state was still bound by its agreement. It could not use DeSalvo's "unofficial" confession, which is the only evidence against him. Bailey was willing to break the agreement, but only if the state sought an acquittal on grounds of insanity...
