Warren Burger, who wrote both majority opinions, stated in the California case that although residential yards are ordinarily fully covered by the privacy safeguards of the Fourth Amendment, it was unreasonable to expect such protection for activities that are "visible to the naked eye" by police "traveling in the public airways." In the Dow case Burger went further, saying that a factory area was not comparable to a private yard, and that the $22,000 magnifying camera used by the EPA was not in the same league as high- tech snooping devices that might require a search warrant.

...Cleveland pictures caught the eye of Editor and Publisher Henry Luce, who was planning a magazine that would rigorously and sumptuously chronicle the world of U.S. business and economy.

There is always magic in discovering a "new" Hemingway. Not many posthumous writers can make that claim...
...problem of medical incompetence and, particularly, the lack of disciplinary surveillance. The court-martial of Naval Surgeon Donal Billig earlier this year for involuntary manslaughter was a notorious case in point. Despite a record of having been fired by hospitals in two states, being legally blind in one eye and demonstrating skills that were described by a colleague as those of "a first-year resident," Billig had risen to be chief cardiac surgeon at Bethesda Naval Hospital, one of the nation's premier military medical centers...
