...comes his own client is not much better off. Some years ago Law Professor Monroe Freedman raised a storm by suggesting that a criminal-defense lawyer owed such complete allegiance to his client that he should balk at practically nothing, including even in some cases perjury. But this is closer to the no-holds-barred philosophy of war than to that of law. Professor Philip Kurland of the University of Chicago Law School has written about the Watergate mess: "Whatever one might properly expect of professional spies or advertising men, surely the lawyers owed a duty to the law whose...
...date cited by whites as the earliest possibility for black majority rule. "Everything depends on the good will of the present regime," Muzorewa adds, "but, sadly, good will is not now apparent." Indeed, the regime has not only broken off talks with Muzorewa, but moved even closer to a South African type of racial apartheid.

While he did subpoena President Thomas Jefferson to produce a letter he had received, for use by Aaron Burr in his treason trial, Marshall's language was elaborately conciliatory and courteous. As for Jefferson, he asserted that the court had no right to compel information, but he did voluntarily supply an edited version...
Still, the subsequent agreement (signed as an amendment to the 1943 contract by which Radcliffe students officially became the wards of Harvard's Faculty) envisioned closer coordination between the two institutions. In it, Harvard reaffirmed its commitment to the education of women and Radcliffe students looked forward to "full and equal participation" in the University's academic and social life...
