...President Lowell was "unaccountably hostile" to it--so hostile, in fact, that in 1926 he prohibited the curator from raising any funds for the museum at all. (The Harvard president who initiated the numerus clausus for Jewish students, Lowell was also unaccountably hostile to the appointment of Louis Dembitz Brandeis to the Supreme Court. But, then, he was unaccountably hostile to almost anything that smacked of Jews...
Some critics detect a whiff of the unreal about the conclusions. Judge Nanette Dembitz of New York State's Family Court, for example, calls the proposal that can deny visiting rights "blind and untenable." But the book is making headway. In Washington, D.C., Judge Tim Murphy cited it in denying a custody claim by a natural parent. He also heeded the warning on the child's time-sense: once he made up his mind, instead of keeping the parties waiting for a written decision, he ushered them into chambers for an immediate ruling...
...Conviction for rape is rare in New York because the state requires corroboration of the victim's testimony.

But in naming a president, the founders made the happy choice of Historian Abram Leon Sachar, chairman of the National Hillel Commission, who exuberantly diagnosed himself as suffering from an "edifice complex...
This week, in honor of the 100th anniversary of Justice Louis Dembitz Brandeis' birth, scores of notables from the academic and legal worlds gathered at the Brandeis campus in Waltham, Mass, to pay him tribute. Chief Justice Warren unveiled a statue of him, and three of his former law clerks were on hand for the ceremony. But the most meaningful tribute to Brandeis was the university itself. In only eight years, it has taken its place as one of the most promising of U.S. liberal-arts campuses...
