Reed was appointed by Franklin Roosevelt to the seat vacated by rock-ribbed conservative George Sutherland just after the downfall of F.D.R.'s court-packing plan. Through the years he seemed to swing from New Deal-type liberalism to the middle-of-the-road to a form of conservatism, but he insisted that the country was swinging, not he. Once the late Justice Robert H. Jackson twitted Reed on growing more conservative. "Either that," said Jackson, "or you're changing your law clerks, Stanley."

Protestantism in New York is in an extreme minority.* Ministers have been discouraged and frustrated ... In talking with many of them we found almost a sense of desperation. Ministers who could not agree with us theologically . . . are willing to cooperate simply because there seems to be nothing else in sight for them to reach the conscience of this city...
...journalists how to have ideas." Packed with ideas, Po Prostu has battled successfully for new youth organizations free of domination by "tired-out" party hacks, attacked Stalinist "reactionaries," urged sweeping reforms in agricultural policy (later adopted in large part by Party Secretary Gomulka) that include virtual liquidation of Russian-type collective farming in favor of new incentives for independent farmers...
