...rights that are in the abstract," said Counselor Marshall. "The rights we seek are rights that have been recognized by the federal courts." Taking his cue from the Justice Department brief already filed, Marshall also urged the Supreme Court to go beyond the motion before it, to rule on Judge Lemley's original decision. "The way the case stands," said Marshall, "there must be a definitive decision, so that in Arkansas there will be no doubt that the orders of the court cannot be interfered with ... by obstructionists and mob action . . ." Finally, just before he sat down, Thurgood Marshall...

The basic question-all there really is in the case-is whether or not we stand as a Government of the U.S. in all its power and strength as well as its consideration of the difficulties and problems that are real . . .

To hold these largely symbolic specks Chiang Kai-shek has crammed them with 95,000 troops...
...novel described a commonwealth of flourishing dominions (where citizens' merits could earn them extra votes) fettered by a mired-in-Socialism United Kingdom that approximates "a home for incurables." A tired, aging Queen Elizabeth II is "in the middle of a first-class constitutional crisis. The job of ruling England has become so unattractive that her children won't take it on." In London last week, the new Shute was full of woolly Australian sheepishness.
