...destroy so much with so little." The argument of vagueness is flimsy, he continued, since the language of Feinberg "obviously springs from" such federal statutes as the Smith Act, which the court has previously upheld.

"The majority has swept away one of our most precious rights- the right of self-preservation," he concluded. The heated argument even continued orally when the Justices delivered their opinions. "Of course our decision today does no such thing," rebutted Brennan, adding that...
...University's James Hines: the 60-yd. dash at the N.A.I.A. indoor track meet in Kansas City, tying the world indoor record of 5.9 sec. once in a preliminary heat, again in the finals.

The liberal education program was not organized as in most American colleges, where a quota of courses from each broad area of knowledge was assumed to expose the student to several disciplines.
