...railroad worker, raised in Bakersfield, Calif., took his law degree at the University of California (1912). He became Alameda County (Oakland) district attorney in 1925, quickly made a name as a racket-buster, was elected state attorney general in 1938, but his courtroom experience nevertheless was limited. Republican Warren was elected California's governor three times with labor as well as business support, was a good, if plodding administrator, endeared himself to the faculty of the University of California by standing firm against loyalty oaths for teachers.

But when the motion reached the floor, it ran into eloquent and unyielding opposition from 72-year-old ex-President Ismet Inonu, Ataturk's successor and now leader of the opposition Republican People's Party. He invoked a strong feeling: though Turkey remains a Moslem country, a whole generation of Turks has been brought up to believe that progress and democracy became possible only after Ataturk abolished the fez, separated church and state. Pointedly Inonu recalled that during their fight...
