Incidents of terrorism have risen steadily in number and violence since 1960 and have also undergone discernible changes in emphasis and targets. Beginning in 1964, the Viet Cong became far less discriminate in their mayhem, far more ready to kill for killing's sake. And since last year, policemen have been a special target for the Red assassination squads-a tribute paid to the growing expertise of the nation's "white mice" in catching the terrorist before he strikes...

For it is HUAC, and not one Court, which has violated the separation of powers, by becoming a mechanism, in Justice Black's words, of "exposure for exposure's sake." As Black stated in dissenting from the majority opinion in Barenblatt, "all the questions in this case really boil down to one -- whether we as a people will try fearfully and futilely to preserve democracy by adopting totalitarian methods, or whether in accordance with our traditions and our Constitution...
