Most-quoted passages

““Caution should be exercised in the use of such abstract definitions without reference to the facts and circumstances of the particular case, for the determination of the question of such jurisdiction must be made upon a common sense basis and a distinction must be made between controversies that are basic and necessary and those which are collateral and merely possible.” Walker v. Savell, 243 F.Supp. 478, 480 (N.D.Miss.1965).”
