...deciding whether minors must have the permission of a parent before getting an abortion, the court trod a fine line, rejecting the standard used in the Akron ordinance but letting a Missouri statute stand.

The new Harvard bore only occasional resemblance to the old, great professors still trod the floor boards of Server and Emerson, but these stars (Perry Miller forcemeat among them) had only two names, not the three (George Washington Pierce, George Lyman Kittredge, Charles Townsend Coppland) that had distinguished their predecessors.
