...Indians, having seen this sort of pride-punctured squabbling before, turned with a sigh toward the quietude of their own homes...
...Invisible Seen. Last week, in a decision that stunned lawyers on both sides with its bold and unexpected reaches, a four-man Supreme Court majority (Warren, Brennan, Black and Douglas)† overruled Judge LaBuy. Completely bypassing the Government's main charges-that Du Pont had violated the 1890 Sherman Act by fencing off the G.M. market from Du Font's competitors-the court based its decision on Section 7 of the 1914 Clayton Act, to which Government lawyers had devoted only six pages of their 100-page brief and only perfunctory oral argument.

Owing some of its quality to the impressionist colors he had seen in Paris, it captures what he bore indelibly in his memory: "the pale head with bright red hair against the white pillow, the trembling lips, the transparent skin, the tired eyes...
