...state supreme court may rule that the shadow which protects marriage does not reach "illicit intercourse." Balliro did not choose to predict that this argument will convince the court. But the argument does give Balliro a chance to list ways in which the laws impose frightening penalties upon those who are prevented from learning about or from taking advantage of birth control devices.

Both convicted murderers were challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty, and they could hardly have picked a more promising time or place for their plea. Their lawyers could argue with considerable authority that Western society has come to look upon execution as a cruel and unusual form of punishment. And the California court could be expected to listen sympathetically; it has earned a reputation...
