...obviously touched a responsive chord, however, among everyone who has ever been bamboozled by machinery. As Goines prepared an appeal, a group of Indianapolis lawyers volunteered to help with his case, and one sympathizer even offered to serve part of his jail term for him. But even from the grave, the machine enjoyed a kind of victory over its human...
...last sentence of the piece that "Martha, Minna and the man they shared are silent in the grave." This is factually true, as to their deaths, but the use of the word "shared" is a false conclusion drawn from false premises.

For Israel, however, the decision opens up a potentially grave internal squabble. The orthodox National Religious Party is determined to seek a law redressing the Supreme Court decision. One suggested solution would simply define a Jew according to Halakha. (No such law now exists.) Another might be to by-pass the question entirely by dropping the nationality and religious section from the registration rolls. Should Golda Meir's government fail to press for such action, the Religious Party will likely...
