...chairmen of the regulatory agencies get together at an informal meeting, which they pointedly call "The Tightrope Club." Congress seems to feel that the men in the Tightrope Club could stand a little more regulation themselves, and the current Senate hearings open a drive for the first major overhaul of the agencies in 18 years...
Deep Offense. In his first nationwide broadcast, the new Prime Minister promised to overhaul the nation's creaky, corrupt bureaucracy.

California's 1959 overhaul of juvenile courts owed much to a study in the Stanford Law Review. The Supreme Court's 1958 liberalization of passport procedures (Kent v. Dulles) reflected views from the Yale Law Journal, and its 1963 support of court-appointed counsel for indigent defendants (Gideon v. Wainwrighf) cited an eloquent article in the Chicago Law Review.
