Last week the U.S. Supreme Court, by narrow 5-4 majorities, decided that Braden and Wilkinson had no reason not to answer. In majority opinions written by Associate Justice Potter Stewart (Justices Felix Frankfurter.

Offering blessed relief to women, who for five years have painfully squeezed their feet into narrow, stiletto-heeled, pointed-toe shoes, is the radically different "chisel toe" look-long, flattened, square-toed shoes that bear more than passing resemblance to the bill of a platypus...
