- 977: Important Cases of the US Supreme Court
- ... Another important case recently involved the right of protection against illegal search and seizure. In T.L.O. v. New Jersey two girls were caught smoking cigarettes in the bathroom of a New jersey high school.

- ... because they held the creation of the Son to be out of nothing. But a view so unlike tradition found little favour; it required softening or palliation, even at the cost of logic; and the school which supplanted Arianism form an early date affirmed the likeness, either without adjunct, or in all things, or in substance, of the Son to the Father, while denying His co-equal dignity and co-eternal ... of God to be everlasting, they imagined Him as having become the Son to create the worlds and redeem mankind.
