What change there is can usually be measured only by degree. If the new appointees are in fact conservative, their effect will probably be only to slow legal innovation. It is far from certain that Nixon, even if he tried, could swing the court in the direction he wanted. Justices often disappoint Presidents. "You shoot an arrow into a far-distant future when you appoint a Justice," says Yale Law Professor Alexander Bickel. "And not the man himself can tell you what he will think about some of the problems that he will face...

In most earlier cases only owners or users of a faulty vehicle had been exempted from proving negligence on the part of the manufacturer.

Within the past few months, it has worked not only at Columbia, but also at the University of Buffalo, Stanford and other schools. The governing body of the university, most often the board of trustees, obtains the court order. The writ usually covers both the demonstrators and opposing groups that might cause trouble. It restrains all persons from taking over buildings or causing other disruption...
