...Congressional investigation ever held up to the public gaze documents of a private and personal nature." The Senate, argued its hireling, is the sole judge of its own subpoenas, is not subject to interference from the courts. There might be, Mr. Harris suggested, a "very unseemly and unfortunate conflict" if the Court enjoined Western Union from delivering the telegrams and the Senate demanded the telegrams under threat of jailing Western Union officials for contempt...
Attitudes, Dr. Allport says, have no cultural origins. But the cultural milieu exerts influences which account for wide variations. Thus defense of country was ranked at the top by some subjects, at the bottom by others, reflecting the conflict of nationalist and internationalist ideologies. When the Allport questionnaire was given to 106 Southerners at Duke University, it was observed that they differed from the Northern subjects in putting defense of family honor ahead of defense of country...

Relativity deals with time, space, gravity, the finite speed of light; quantum mechanics with particles, electricity, the action of light. The two are not only separate but in some cases conflict. Relativity dispenses with the idea of absolute time; quantum mechanics retains it. Although it is a tremendously powerful approach to atomic behavior, quantum mechanics is shot through with uncertainty. It has given birth to the Uncertainty Principle of Heisenberg, which states that the position and velocity of an electron cannot be simultaneously ascertained...

Mr. Walsh probably exaggerated the obstacles the oath placed in the way of his freedom, but the nuisance value of the measure was clearly stressed by all the witnesses. President Neilson gave it its truest appraisal when he said that such legislation does more than anything else to undermine respect for the laws...
