The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work.

““While the court could properly have permitted such testing of the capacity of the witness to observe and recall, a court has wide discretion in permitting, prohibiting or curtailing such excursions. In all of the circumstances of this case, we are satisfied that the court did not act unfairly or abuse its discretion in restricting cross-examination.” United States v.
