Strategy Backfiring. Many Southern legal eagles argued no, and Conservative Democrat Dave Lawrence stated their case: "Contempt charges . . . have been applied heretofore primarily to acts committed in a courtroom or with respect to property seized by an individual which he may be forced to bring into a courtroom." This view ignored the classic use of the contempt-of-court charge to enforce the injunctive power, e.g., in the fines totaling $30,000 levied in 1946 and 1948 against United Mine Workers President John L.

Patriot Paasikivi's coldly realistic view of his country's situation: Finland "is too small and dangerously located to afford a foreign policy directed against Russia...

Included are biographical notes, an album of photographs and excerpts from essays and novels, many autobiographical, e.g., Martin Eden, in which London saw himself as a "rough, uneducated sailor" who ends a suicide. There are also remarkably evocative eyewitness accounts (the San Francisco earthquake, a typhoon off Japan) and 25 short stories, some of them little known. Among the best: Jan, the Unrepentant, a hilarious yarn in which some trappers prepare to hang a suspected murderer, and The Law of Life, about...
