From Torts to Contracts. In reply, U.S. Attorney General Herbert Brownell, in his Nebraska-with-patina-by-Yale accent, set his eye toward the future. "Together," he said, "we are committed with the other free peoples to the goal of a worldwide application of principles of justice under law-an inspiration that all men and institutions will be governed by a reasoned law and not by the whim or caprice of any man or group who is not thus restrained." His was a stirring and eloquent call "for men and peoples skilled in the law" to develop...

When he was through swinging against the Phils, Aaron had smashed out six hits in seven tries, and his Braves were in first place...
...even more important, since it would benefit not only the feeders but the whole U.S. airline industry. By freeing $67 million in capital gains earned from selling old planes over the next five years, A.T.A. President Tipton testified, the bill would give the industry a $270 million credit reserve toward new planes. Even that is only a start.
