Based squarely on the federal courts' power to punish contempt is an essential function of the Federal Government: the use of injunctions and restraining orders to prevent acts that would damage an individual or the public interest. The injunction is the Government's principal means of enforcing more than two dozen federal statutes, including the antitrust laws, the Atomic Energy Act and the Securities Exchange Act. Not one of these 20-odd statutes carries a jury-trial provision, and expert opinion holds that many of them, because of their complexity, would be unenforceable if it took a jury...
...President was unruffled. Said he: "If that man who knows so much about my business will offer me a million dollars to sell out, he is going to make a sale in a hurry." To Clark's blunt needle about a possible Eisenhower "conflict of interest problem," the President replied that although as an elected official he is not subject to U.S. conflict-of-interest laws, after the 1952 election he transferred the bulk of his assets to "an irrevocable trust, so that during the period that I am President, I do not even know what...

But one undeveloped area of reader interest charted in the study is a little-known land to the majority of newsrooms. News of U.S. business, Pollster Gallup's findings suggest, not only deserves more space and prominence than it gets in most dailies, but has a far bigger potential audience than most are exploiting...
...press has greatly expanded coverage of economic issues since World War II, but business news is still skimped and segregated by most dailies in the obdurate belief that it is a specialized concern of a special few. This assumption flies in the face of an unparalleled broadening of popular interest in business. Whether as consumers, taxpayers, stockholders, homeowners, union members, employees or businessmen, newspaper readers are concerned as never before with the economic fronts that affect their pocketbooks. Millions of readers, for example, have a direct stake in blow-by-blow coverage of inflation and its many-faceted causes...
