Historically, wrote Justice Felix Frankfurter for the majority (Justices Tom Clark, John Marshall Harlan, Charles Evans Whittaker, Potter Stewart), the constitutional protections of privacy were designed to prevent officials from seizing evidence to be used against the householder in a criminal case without due process of law. "Giving the fullest scope to this constitutional right to privacy, its protection cannot be here invoked . . . No evidence for criminal prosecution is sought to be seized . . . Here was no midnight knock on the door but an orderly visit in the middle of the afternoon . . . Time and experience have forcefully taught that the power...
...marriage, so she is understandably lacking in some of the finer points of salty boatsmanship (she insists on calling the galley a "kitchen.'' and on cruises she insists on plugging all boat drains at night to keep out snakes). May likes to tease her father-in-law about the time they were cruising in Lake Huron, and she warned him to look out for underwater boulders. "Don't worry." said Jay.

The New Haven ministers -the Rev. C. Lawson Willard of Trinity Episcopal Church, Luther R. Livingston of Bethesda Lutheran Church, and George...
Part of the slippage was due to the fact that U.S. gold, priced by law at $35 per ounce, plus a handling charge of one-fourth of i%, is slightly under the price on the British free market. The difference would encourage foreigners with dollars or other hard currency that they wanted to turn into gold to buy in the U.S. rather than in Britain. The British government itself was also buying U.S. gold again for its reserves. During the early part of this year, Britain stopped buying to accumulate $200 million borrowed from the International Monetary Fund...
