Crucial Fifth. Justice John Harlan did not agree that the evidence was "peripheral," but he did concur in upholding the conviction. He argued that exceptions to the hearsay rule should not be weighed against the Sixth Amendment confrontation right at all. Instead, he gave priority to the due process clauses of the Fifth and 14th amendments, which, he says, ask whether or not the contested evidence compromised a fair trial.

Although I do not concur in Dean von Stade's particular formulation of the issue of male-female ratio in Harvard College, I detect something rather disingenuous about the uproar the lib-minded female students have made in response to his views.

Ingenious, but even if it meant nothing less than the survival of capitalism, would you rather...

Republican Sprinkel and Democrat Okun concur that the U.S. cannot do both in 1971. Heller adds that in order to restore full employment even by Nov. 7, 1972 -when voters will decide whether or not to re-elect President Nixon-the Administration would have to promote a business advance so vigorous that it would surely start a new inflation...
