...Indeed there could hardly be any, since both the charges and the revelations of the Government's interference and misconduct were unprecedented. Defense Counsel Leonard Boudin tried to cajole Byrne with the coy suggestion: "I'm hopeful that in future when I'm asked to cite a precedent, I'll be able to cite one made by Your Honor in this case...

...Crimson recently carried a story that a group of university library workers had charged the administration with discrimination in hiring. The story cited two pieces of supporting evidence.
