Speaking for a six-man court majority, Chief Justice Warren ruled that the Cuban ban does not contradict Kent, because it applies to all citizens and does not penalize individual beliefs. As for the free-speech argument, he said, "the right to speak and publish does not carry with it the unrestrained right to gather information." But what about delegation of powers? Acting under the 1926 law, said Warren, the State Department restricted travel to Ethiopia, Spain and China in the 1930s, and later to many Iron Curtain countries.

...prices are its 36 comparison shoppers. They roam competing stores, spying out new styles, feeling the materials and comparing prices. Whenever they find that Macy's is being undersold, they order the store to lower its prices. Not even Straus can countermand their instructions. Neither can he contradict Macy's own Bureau of Standards, the arbiter of the store's conscience. In a backstairs laboratory that looks like a bathroom choked with chemistry sets, the bureau puts 7,500 products per year (including all of Macy's own brands) through tests of fire, water, high pressure...
