...became fashionable to hold that principles are as changeable as those needs. The U.S. lawyer who best symbolized this view was Oliver Wendell Holmes-the Magnificent Yankee. No one had a greater love of the law than Holmes, who sat on the Supreme Court from 1902 to 1932. Although often in the minority, he was the inspiration of two generations of legal scholars who were in rebellion against a conservatism which used principle as a cover for old-fashioned rigidity, and in so doing too often placed chains upon change. Fundamental principle, sadly, became a casualty of the rebellion...
...common by most nations, a rule of law can be established that exerts its force even on the legal outlaws who this week celebrate May Day in their own way. More and more, as men of law become familiar with the legal systems of other nations, they find-often to their astonishment-that there are indeed basic common values. Impressive evidence of this fact is found by Assistant U.S. Attorney General George Cochran Doub through his experience in handling U.S. Government litigation in the courts of Western Europe.

Uncertainty. Neither theory is anywhere near being tested. To avoid "sensation," Heisenberg will not even publicly release his equation until next month. But physicists look for much from Heisenberg, head of the famed Max Planck Institute in Göttingen, and often called Einstein's successor. In 1932 Heisenberg won the Nobel Prize for one of modern physics' key laws, "the uncertainty principle," which holds that subatomic events cannot be observed individually without changing them by the very act of observation...
With the world commodity market now glutted, the situation is made to order for the Soviets. Iceland made a trade deal with Russia to dispose of its surplus fish, Burma to dispose of its surplus rice. Such countries often accuse the U.S. of damaging their economies by sales of its surpluses on the world market; less well known is the fact that Russia often puts the commodities it takes in trade right back on the market, as it did with Egyptian cotton, Turkish tobacco, Syrian wheat...
