 Life Of Cicero - Anthony Trollope   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-21)
The Republic was no republic, as we understand the word; nor did it ever become so, though their was always going on a perpetual struggle to transfer the power from the nobles to the people, in which something was always being given or pretended to be given to the outside class.
Cicero's efforts were put forth to prevent the coming of an Augustus or a Nero, or the need of a Trajan; and as we read of them we feel that, had success been possible, he would have succeeded.
The reader will surely know that Christ was born in the reign of Augustus, and crucified in that of Tiberius; but he will not perhaps know, without the trouble of some calculation, how far removed from the period of Christ was the year 648 A.U.C., in which Cicero was born.

He also reminds us that Demosthenes pleaded when he was a boy, and that Augustus at the age of twelve made a public harangue in honor of his grandmother.
But Cicero, not having the advantage of distance, having simply in his mind the knowledge of the greatness which had been achieved, and in his heart a true love for the country which had achieved it, and which was his own, encouraged himself to think that the good might be recovered and the bad eliminated.
However much, or however little, the country of itself might have been to any of them, it seemed good to him, whether for the country's sake or for his own, that the rule should be in his own hands.

The majority upheld a Georgia state court decision that allowed a park to remain segregated by reverting to the heirs of the proudly racist senator Augustus Octavius Bacon.
The court refused to see sufficient state action either in the entanglement of public officials with the park or in the role of the Georgia courts in enforcing Bacon's will.
Since that decision, Black's forceful arguments against the artificiality and incoherence of the state action doctrine have been swept away by the Supreme Court's deference to the states and the marketplace.
