How later courts describe this case
- "At a minimum, when requested by counsel, inquiry must be made into matters where the likelihood of prejudice is so great that not to inquire would risk failure in assembling an impartial jury."
- In “Chicago 7” trial, the district court erred by not asking questions that would have elicited a prospective juror’s attitude toward public protest against the Vietnam War, long hair, lifestyles different than their own, policemen and so forth.
- every potential juror had some knowledge about the case
