Over the next half century I cannot foresee, of course, the kind of world that will surround us at our work. We know that courts do not function well in an atmosphere of pressure and tumult and passion. Some people are voicing fears, or hopes, that the post-war world will move sharply to the right; and others thing, to the left.

Some people are voicing fears, or hopes, that the post-war world will move sharply to the right; and others thing, to the left.
