Emphatic Rejection. Black's theory appalled his longtime libertarian colleague, Justice William O. Douglas, who spoke for three other dissenters (Warren, Brennan, Fortas) in blasting the court for inviting the use of trespass laws as "a blunderbuss to suppress civil rights." Not only was trespass being wrongfully applied to public property, argued Douglas, but custodians of such property were being given "awesome power to decide whose ideas may be expressed." Douglas called the decision "a wonderful police-state doctrine" that will "only increase the forces of frustration which the conditions of secondclass citizenship are generating amongst...
...even his son could add much to the animated image of the great man. Yet Randolph's biography succeeds. It is not just another item in the hefty shelf of Churchill memorabilia, and it is more than a son's pious exercise. Randolph, 55, is able to suppress his own rather gaudy personality, intrudes into the narrative only once or twice, and then only with the purpose of contrasting the generous treatment he received at the hands of his father with the harsh and demanding rule that Lord Randolph imposed upon the boy Winston.

...resistant to sulfadiazine and 21% to tetracycline; at Children's Hospital Medical Center in Boston, no fewer than 65% of the E. coli and 92% of Proteus vulgaris resisted at least one important drug. Equally sobering, researchers note that antibiotics are now routinely put in livestock feed to suppress bacteria and stimulate the animals' growth. This procedure may well produce animal bacteria that transmit drug resistance to bacteria that infect humans; indeed, such new strains may be resistant to all penicillins and tetracyclines...
