...friend Christian Zervos 39 years ago, cannot keep up with this immense, almost monotonous fecundity; it runs to 23 volumes, and has only reached the early 1960s. Some two-thirds of this oeuvre is privately owned by dealers and collectors. Thus, in terms of investment, literally billions of dollars hang upon the survival of his reputation, a fact that accentuates the general reluctance to breathe a word against his work...
...President, Attorney General and those responsible for a continuing America must "subordinate the safety of society to the rights of persons accused of crime." Why? "It is better 10 guilty persons go free than to hang one innocent man." A repressive society does not truly believe this tenet of our American jurisprudence.

...only a "way-station" on the road back to free markets. If inflation substantially calms down, he may campaign for re-election on a promise to remove the controls that he imposed. But some less formal type of presidential intervention in major wage bargains and price decisions may well hang on. It is questionable whether any President can ever again stick to a total hands-off policy...
