...warrant, said the court, should have contained both more detail on what led the informant to conclude that the phones were for bet taking, and some support for the FBI claim that the informant's word could be trusted. The informant's "meager report," said Justice John Harlan for the majority, "could easily have been obtained from an offhand remark heard at a neighborhood bar."

Eugene McCarthy has faulted Johnson for asking Earl Warren to head the commission investigating John Kennedy's assassination. Chief Justice Harlan Stone refused Franklin Roosevelt's request to look into the vexatious problem of how the nation was to get its desperately needed rubber during World War II.
