Felix Frankfurter may have been the most divisive Justice ever to serve on the Court. The legal scholar Cass Sunstein has recently demonstrated that, in 1941, the Court changed “from a court that had operated by consensus, with very few separate opinions, into something closer to nine separate law offices, with a large number of dissenting opinions and concurrences, and with a significant rate of 5–4 divisions.”

Watch this one for inspiration: In May, 1974, Philip Kurland, acting as a consultant to the Senate Judiciary Committee, reviewed transcripts of the Watergate tapes and concluded that Nixon may have committed crimes warranting impeachment. Nixon resigned on August 9th. He might have destroyed the tapes if he could. To stop him, Congress passed the Presidential Recordings and Materials Preservation Act, in December, 1974. The act might have altered the fate of the Justices’ papers, too; it provided for the establishment of a seventeen-member commission to study, and make recommendations, regarding the records of federal officials in all three branches of the government. The report of the Public Documents Commission, issued in 1977, urged that the Justices’ papers, like the President’s papers, be made public property, and opened to the public fifteen years after they leave the Court. That measure was not adopted.

The statute of limitations on the theft of Frankfurter’s papers had expired by the nineteen-nineties. Neither Anderson nor Whitten ever revealed the name of the thief, if they even knew it. Anderson is dead; Whitten has said that he never learned who stole the papers. Hume, Cloherty, and Owens don’t remember where Whitten got the tip-off about the Frankfurter theft. “We called our chief source O.T. Transom,” Owens told me. “For ‘over the transom.’ ”

Fly some paper aeroplanes and measure how far they fly. Can you put the results into a graph and describe what happened?I love the turn it takes for treating the cutting of trees as a crime and the way it goes to court. This can be really useful with children as they could see what punishment if any they thought was appropriate for the bear. Generating great discussion and understanding of the text in class. There was also an envelope for each year group and a copy of the book, The Great Paper Caper by Oliver Jeffers. The front cover had a picture of the Bear! The Supreme Court has no policies for preserving the papers of its Justices. Illustration by John Cuneo When life in the forest begins to change; when trees mysteriously lose their branches, when whole tree trunks start to disappear, when homes are lost, the only course of action for the forest dwellers is to begin a full scale investigation. Alibis must be proved, clues must be sought but even so, blame is never far from anyone's thoughts. In a strange world that is startlingly similar to our own, all manner of creatures, including a red-haired boy, live subterranean lives under hollow trees. Trees are very important to them, as that's where their front doors are located. But, someone or some thing is cutting down branches and even entire trees. This monster must be stopped!

Anderson was followed, and his phone was tapped. Hendrik Hertzberg, in a canny piece that appeared in this magazine on January 22, 1972, asked Anderson whether “Washington’s fondness for secrecy had grown in recent years.” Anderson said “yes.” Herzberg asked, “What would you do if the government raided your office right now?” Anderson replied, “I would howl.” A great story and lots of opportunities to use with a class. Older children could do their own version of the court case and put the bear on trial with a jury and judge deciding whether he is guilty or not and what his punishment should be.On November 8, 1973, an F.B.I. agent reported to the director that the bureau had no proof tying the prime suspect to the theft. On December 6, 1973, the Justice Department replied to Anderson, declining his offer of help. It referred to the investigation as ongoing, and expressed concern that Anderson had destroyed the envelopes in which the photocopies were returned. In March, 1974, without officially closing the case, the F.B.I. effectively ended the investigation. Something terrible is happening in the forest. Branches from trees are going missing overnight, and nobody knows what's going on. Everyone living in the forest gathers together to look at the crime scene, and to try to discover what has happened. Initially they blame each other, but after discovering everyone there has a solid alibi they continue their investigations to try and find the culprit. This is an intelligent and entertaining picture book, with unique and fascinating illustrations. It carries a topical ecological message and includes added extras such as instructions for making paper aeroplanes.

Look at the illustrations that show what the animals are saying. Can you turn these into speech bubbles? Could you use those speech bubbles to write what they are saying, using the correct punctuation? The pictures are fine and the weird humor is ok and we still read it from time to time but I don't think I would recommend it to my friends. Yep, it takes the animals most of the book to figure out who is cutting down the trees. It isn't until someone finds a certain object that they find out who it is. I did find it silly that it took them that long to figure it out. You only have so many animals in the forest, and instead of going by every one of them, they just did hours of crime scene investigations. :P Secondary Col 3 Anthologies for KS3 to KS5 English White Rose Maths Secure Science for GCSE Reimagine KS3 English KS3 Science Now Collins Classroom ClassicsIn 2007, Jeffers was the official illustrator for World Book Day, and in 2008 Lost and Found became Oliver's first book to made into animation by London-based Studio AKA. The illustrations are important throughout the story, adding little extras to your reading pleasure. For example there's the picture of poor Owl falling flat on the floor because the branch he usually lands on in a tree has been stolen! The investigators do manage to discover what's been going on, and the Bear is first held for questioning, and then taken to court where he confesses that he is trying to win a paper airplane competition, and that he had no one to ask for help and he's very sorry about the trees. He says he'll help to fix things, by planting new trees, and the other forest dwellers offer to help Bear to win the competition.
