...justices' questions immediately went to the heart of those arguments. Chief Justice Earl Warren asked O'Brien's attorney whether it would also be symbolic speech for a soldier in Viet Nam to "break his weapon in front of other soldiers?" As for the purpose of O'Brien's card, added Warren, "we have millions of people in this country floating around. What if he is found in Arizona and he refuses to give any information and the Government wants his card so that it can know his draft status...
...Ranch. For his CBS debut, Barnard was flanked by the two surgeons most prominently identified with artificial hearts and transplantation: Houston's Dr. Michael E. DeBakey and Brooklyn's Dr. Adrian Kantrowitz. He also faced two expert interrogators: Newsman Martin Agronsky and Science Editor Earl Ubell. If anyone showed strain it was Dr. Kantrowitz - understandably, because his transplantation of a heart into a 19-day-old infant had failed after 61 hours.

Now the ratio is changing rapidly. The Earl of Cromer, for instance, until recently governor of the Bank of England, is the new chairman of IBM United Kingdom. Dr. Frederick H. Boland, the man who as United Nations General Assembly President broke a gavel in 1960 trying to silence Nikita Khrushchev, is chairman of Esso Ireland. Though names help...
...court rejected as unconstitutional the McCarran provision that any Communist Party member is ipso facto denied the right to work in defense plants. "For almost two centuries our country has taken singular pride in the democratic ideals enshrined in its Constitution," said Chief Justice Earl Warren, who delivered the majority opinion. "It would indeed be ironic if, in the name of national defense, we would sanction the subversion of one of those liberties-the freedom of association-which makes the defense of the nation worthwhile...
