Justice Robert H. Jackson could hardly contain himself in his dissent from Justice Frank Murphy's majority opinion. The court was trying to change Congress' own rules, he said. For more than 150 years it has been standard congressional practice to presume a quorum until someone specifically raised the question and proved otherwise (as no one did in the Christoffel case).

The various groups interact constantly, their links forming and dissolving as the cell lives and grows. Certain single large molecules...

Moreover, Frost is a complete poet, one of the few who ever stuck it out as such in a tough country for poets. Frost's reputation has been secure for 35 years...
