In 1937 he founded the Pioneer Fund, a registered charitable organisation established to provide scholarships for descendants of original white American settlers and to support research into heredity and eugenics; he later became its principal benefactor. Early life[edit] Born in Hopedale, Massachusetts, he was the son of George A.
Reed v. Reed. The case[edit] Sally and Cecil Reed, a married couple who had separated, were in conflict over which of them to designate as administrator of the estate of their deceased son.
Each filed a petition with the Probate Court of Ada County, Idaho, asking to be named.[1] Idaho Code specified that "males must be preferred to females" in appointing administrators of estates and the court appointed Cecil as administrator of the estate, valued at less than $1000. Sally Reed was represented at the Supreme Court by Idaho lawyer, Allen Derr, who argued that the Fourteenth Amendment forbids discrimination based on gender.[2] After a series of appeals by both Sally and Cecil Reed, the Supreme Court considered the case and delivered a unanimous decision that held the Idaho Code's preference in favor of males was arbitrary and unconstitutional.[1] The Supreme Court ruled for the first time in Reed v.

Inspired by all this libertarian talk, I dug out an old piece of mine from 2002, in the Boston Globe, that talks about a little known fact: many workers in the United States aren’t able to exercise their right to pee on the job—due to lack of government enforcement—and it wasn’t until 1998 (!)
That they even got that right, thanks to the federal government. The piece pivots from there to a more general discussion about coercion in the workplace and its history. Union Members Summary. For release 10:00 a.m.
