...judge's contempt power goes back to the early English kings, who gave their judges the right to punish anyone showing disrespect for the laws of the realm. In modern usage, the power is considered vital in helping judges to preserve order. Even so, U.S. courts and legislatures have lately sought to limit "summary contempt"-that is, the judge's awesome right to bring the charge, reach a finding of guilty and sentence the offender...

Of course, in the existing socio-economic system, radical scholars will form only a part of any university and probably a small part at that...
...glories of Harvard is its generosity with research support, including support for the junior faculty. In the Government Department, for example, nearly every junior faculty member devotes half his time to research with the support of one of the many Centers which have divided up the realm of the mind into spheres of intellectual interest- The Joint Center for Urban Studies, The Institute of Politics, The Center for International Affairs, and the East Asian, Russian, and Middle Eastern Research Centers. If a member of the Government Department wishes to convert his radical thoughts of U.S. foreign policy into a radical...
