...majority of the Justices took an empirical view. The test of reasonableness, wrote Chief Justice Vinson, varied with each case. A search for objects connected with a crime was legal in certain circumstances. In this case, the search was reasonable. It had to be intensive because of the small size of the objects searched for. The search was made "in good faith" and not as a pretext for looking for something else. The draft cards were seized legally...
...coming of exam time, when the actions of Harvard men are as rigidly conventionalized as those of a pulp story hero. Almost uniformly, they lash themselves into a delirium of anxiety, committing breaches of form by buttonholing complete strangers from their courses and asking their thoughts on possible test questions, and scuttling busily in and out of bookstores seeking condensations of course material or outlines on How To Study.

If he did, he could answer a question...

Early this year he persuaded his favorite mold (Actinomyces griseus) to produce another antibiotic (TIME, Feb. 10). The new one, "grisein," teams up efficiently with streptomycin (in the test tube) to fight a variety of stubborn bacteria...
