Asked to name a famous Supreme Court case, many Americans would probably initially think of three that are the best known for expanding the constitutional rights of individuals: Brown v. Board of Education, which said children have a right to attend desegregated schools in 1954; Roe v. Wade, which said women have a right to have abortions in 1973; and Obergefell v. Hodges, which said gays and lesbians have a right to get married in 2015.
These landmark decisions helped to create a political mythology of the Supreme Court as an institution that has always protected the rights of Americans.

The persistence of a paranoid style
A standard definition of paranoia is when a person experiences a deep, anxious fear of threats or conspiracies founded on delusion and irrationality. In a now-famous 1963 lecture at Oxford University, Columbia University historian Richard Hofstadter called this phenomenon “the paranoid style in American politics.” A year later, it appeared as an essay in “Harper’s Magazine” (bit.ly/MVparaonid). It later appeared as a book, which has been reissued several times.
Just this year the Library of America reprinted it, along with other works by Hofstadter, who died 50 years ago.

(Tribune News Service) Dec. 7 is universally recognized as the day an attack on Pearl Harbor led to the United States entry into World War II. But for Ellwood City area residents that also is the day they recognize one of their hometown heroes, who was one of the first people injured in the Japanese bombardment and one of the few survivors left from that fateful day.
