...effects of New York's 114-day newspaper strike, longest in the city's history, linger on. Last week: - The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld the right of the Publishers Association of New York to shut down all papers if any one is struck. The publishers' move had been challenged by Local No. 6 of the New York Mailers Union, on the grounds that its members were not a party to the strike and that they had been locked out of their jobs. But the Appeals court, affirming an earlier National Labor Relations Board ruling, found such...
...home was bombed, and when his enraged people seemed ready to take to the streets in a riot of protest, he controlled them with his calm preaching of nonviolence. King became world-famous (TIME cover, Feb. 18, 1957), and in less than a year the Supreme Court upheld an earlier order forbidding Jim Crow seating in Alabama buses...
Numerous state supreme courts have upheld the constitutionality of their state's statutes against interracial marriages. In 1944 a Federal Circuit Court upheld Oklahoma's racial marriage laws.

"People call them baubles," said Napoleon of the awards. "Very well, it is with baubles that you lead men. There must be distinction." But the trouble was that the Legion of Honor soon lost its distinctiveness. Miners and postmen, shopkeepers, policemen, and even the official Elysée Palace silver polisher were garlanded along with poets, generals, industrialists and diplomats...
...Fair supermarkets in Florida in 1960, four nonunion workers protested because it included an "agency shop" clause requiring them to pay "service fees" equal to union dues. The dissenters said that this violated the right-to-work law that Florida enacted in 1944. The U.S. Supreme Court last June upheld their argument but left a question open: Is it up to the state courts or to the National Labor Relations Board to interpret and enforce right-to-work laws...
