“After an American has been in a totalitarian country for several months, he is greatly relieved when he reaches home. He feels that bonds have been released and that he is free.

After a recent trip I said to a neighbor, "It's wonderful to be back in a nation where even a riot may be tolerated."”
William Orville Douglas
