...Playa Giron, known more familiarly to Americans as the Bay of Pigs, where 1500 mercenaries, armed and directed by the U.S. and provided with air cover by U.S. planes, were easily defeated in less than 72 hours by an armed Cuban population. In a museum there, we saw Sherman tanks, U.S. Army heavy machine guns and mortars, and a picture of Adlai Stevenson, the left liberal representative of a liberal government, telling the Security Council that the United States government had no involvement in the invasion; while at the same time CIA officials were directing the short-lived intervention...

As an Assistant Attorney General from 1938 to 1943, Arnold initiated more antitrust suits (230) than any other individual in the history of the Sherman Antitrust Act, winning major decisions against the American Medical Association, Standard Oil of New Jersey and the Associated Press. He was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1943 but quit two years later to establish his own firm with Paul Porter and Abe Fortas; generous and liberal...
