...when he testified that he could not understand why he was asked to supply barbed wire, "which was in short supply," for every carload of deported Jews. But on one point, the enlargement of his department's responsibility to include confiscation of Jewish property and cancellation of Jewish citizenship, Eichmann was more knowledgeable. It was the result "of the initiative of the division in the Interior Ministry under Hering and Globke." The pointed mention of Dr. Hans Globke, now West Germany's Cabinet Secretary and one of Chancellor Adenauer's closest advisers, was a blatant effort...
Next fortnight he plans to take off for 13 weeks in the States on another money-raising roundup. This time the bishop hopes to be traveling on a brand-new passport-a Brazilian one.

In 1938 N.E.A.'s Educational Policies Commission called for "self-realization, human relationship, economic efficiency, and civic responsibility" (broken into 43 sub-goals, such as "efficiency in buying"). In 1951 N.E.A. undertook to provide ten more "values," including the Declaration of Independence...

The tax, said the court, interfered with the right of travel conferred by citizenship. Five years later, in a Louisiana case, the court listed the right of free interstate travel as a specific privilege of U.S. citizenship under Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution. In Edwards v.
