...cases and suits between citizens of different states. But as federal law grew after the Civil War, so did the need for U.S. trial courts with broader scope. In 1875, district courts were given jurisdiction over a wide range of federal questions. District judges now handle every sort of lawsuit under the federal sun-including antitrust cases, bank robberies, bankruptcies, draft evasion, obscenity suits, patent infringements, railroad disputes, tax dodging and habeas corpus petitions from state prisoners (up 36% since 1963). Also copyright infringements, kidnaping, moonshining cases, compensation for injuries at sea and auto accidents involving citizens of different states...

The Negro football-player who bangs into TV cameraman Hinkle and thus gives Wiplash the trumped-up lawsuit he's searching for, is written more or less like every stock Hollywood nice-guy over the last two decades. Either he's a slap at Uncle-Tomism or, more likely, at the latest While liberal stereotype of the token Negro. At any rate, he can't be serious...
