...Nonetheless, it is becoming increasingly clear that U.S. power has distinct limits, which must be better recognized than in the past. That power, often with absurd reliance on technology, is badly suited to guerrilla warfare, as in Viet Nam. It cannot be used to keep balky allies in line, as Russia did in Hungary and Czechoslovakia, because American values and politics would not permit it. It is unsuitable for ready use against mischiefmakers, whether in North Korea or Peru, because heavy ripostes to such irritations usually entail intolerable military or political risks...
Unlike old-style Latin American dictators, Brazil's rulers are neither brutal nor bent on building up personal fortunes. Nonetheless, they have imposed on Brazil a strict rule that recently has grown more repressive. At present, congress is "in recess," unions are forbidden to strike, and virtually all leading politicians are banned from participation in public life. The press and television are closely supervised. Dozens of Brazilians are in jail on unspecified political charges. Costa e Silva recently broadened the list of offenses punishable by jail sentences to include even talking or writing in terms that have a hidden...

But Stewart, who generally gives greater weight to the claims of law enforcement than the other justices, was speaking solely for himself. And even he did not come out clearly for the inchamber proceeding. Thus the Government has no assurance that the court will hold that the issue of a bug's legality can be decided privately...
...commitment, part of a "quest for personal authenticity" that can take them into Black Power or the Peace Corps, hippiedom or Zen, drugs or sex. Some of these convictions hardly qualify as "beliefs" by any standard, and most of them are clearly not oriented toward God at all. Nonetheless, they may unwittingly reflect "the operation of the Holy Spirit," Bellah says. He looks on the Peace Corps, for instance, as "a secular monastic order whose members take a voluntary vow of poverty and go out to work for the alleviation of the sufferings of the world...
