...political feet again. Even in his insistence on a measure of economic and military autonomy from the U.S. for a united Europe, De Gaulle would have considerable logic on his side if he were not the chief obstacle to unity.

Douglas insisted that Americans should be allowed to visit Communist countries in order to understand them. The First Amendment, he said, "presupposes a mature people, not afraid of ideas." Justice Arthur Goldberg argued that Congress in 1926 merely tried to "centralize the issuance of passports," which were once wildly dispensed by U.S. mayors and even notaries.
