Today's quotes:
"The most stringent protection of free speech would not protect a man in falsely shouting fire in a theatre and causing a panic....The question in every case is whether the words used are used in such circumstances are of such a nature as to create a clear and present danger that they will bring about the substantive evils that congress has a right to prevent."
- US SC Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Schenck case, 1917
"In the tarpaper morgue at Chalons-Sur-Marne in the reek of chloride of lime and dead, they picked out the pine box that held all that was left of....John Doe....
....the scraps of dried viscera and skin bundled in khaki
they took to Chalons-Sur-Marne
and laid it out neat in a pine coffin
and took it home to Gd's country on a battleship
and buried it in a sarcophagus in the Memorial Amphitheatre in the Arlington National Cemetery
and draped the Old Glory over it
and the bugler played taps"
- John Dos Passos, 1919
