...Congress," said Chief Justice Warren in delivering the majority opinion, "intended to occupy the field of sedition" when it passed the 1940 Smith Act and succeeding anti-subversive statutes. State laws are "in no sense uniform," and their enforcement could present "serious danger of conflict" with federal antisubversion operations. In the strongest dissent that Earl Warren has ever faced, Justices Stanley Reed, Sherman Minton and Harold Burton argued that "in the responsibility of national and local governments to protect themselves against sedition, there is no 'dominant interest' . . .

...July 1942 Graham enlisted in the Army Air Forces as a private-but he went right on operating in uniform.

...syphilis and TB, play a minor role, Blumenthal evolved his thesis through an intensive study of hemodynamics-the mechanics of blood flow and pressure within arterial walls. Cholesterol is carried evenly through the body with the blood. But neither stress on arterial walls nor hardening of the arteries is uniform; both tend to coincide at artery junctions, just as water forced through a pipe exerts greatest pressure at the joints. To stay healthy the arterial wall must remain elastic, expanding and contracting with blood pressure. Normal high blood pressure exerts "wear and tear" on the arterial walls without necessarily causing...

Thus, the inventory dollar figures often show disturbing month-to-month fluctuations as a reflection of price changes, although the physical volume may remain fairly stable...
Amid recent White House conferences on education, highways, and civil defense, little public concern has focussed on the jungle-jim structure of the nation's courts. While uniform codes have made the federal system a relatively efficient procedure, many state and county courtrooms are regularly the scenes of judicial carnage. With crowded calendars and an inadequate bench, civil courts have too often had to rule in favor of insurance gouging and the slick argument...
