...Black-possible "criminal prosecution and harassment." By the time the justices had threaded an uncertain way through the states' already mixed-up divorce laws there was, in the bitter words of one justice, "no longer any divorce law in the U.S." In one wage-hour ruling-that workers must be paid for time spent getting ready to work and walking through the plant to their jobs ("regardless of contrary custom or contract")-they had opened a trap door under thousands of business firms. Congress had to rush to the rescue with legislation...

This whole problem raises a grave dilemma, as my letter doubtless indicates; I cannot find any simple answer. I should like to see Marxist doctrine vigorously and clearly expounded in our universities; we must understand the strength of Communism, and the power of its appeal to many people, if we are to act wisely in the world today.

"To advance learning and perpetuate it to posterity" is the constant aim of the members of a university. In their efforts they must by definition be always concerned with difficult questions, be they in theology, philosophy, political theory, economics, or even the natural sciences.

Every day our mail brings at least one new invitation (inside two envelopes) and we inevitably find it a dismal experience to open it and discover who went this time. Not only does it mean something else that must be answered, not only does it involve further financial sacrifice, not only does it mean the loss of a drinking companion--from a purely objective point of view means that some unsuspecting sentimentalist is voluntarily signing away his freedom...
