Only rarely does the Supreme Court settle a case which is obviously a turning point, a judicial epoch.

In the final scene the girl is watching the Unknown Soldier ceremony when...

It was a horse upon which Robert Bishop,** insurance clerk, held the winning ticket in the Calcutta Sweepstakes worth $600,000.‡ It was a horse for which King George of England politely rose to cheer. It was Coronach...
