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

“Ordinarily, an issue not addressed in the brief of either party and raised for the first time at oral argument is deemed waived. We do not generally reach out, without the benefit of either written or oral argument by counsel, to decide legal contentions nowhere raised by the defendant. Nevertheless, in order to avoid depriving a defendant of his constitutional right to a fundamentally fair trial, and for the purpose of maintaining the basic integrity of the judicial process, we will notice "error, if error there be, that works substantial injustice, whether or not it is brought to the attention of the trial or appellate court.’ ” (citations omitted).”

1 later decision quote this exact passage“Where the question of a fair and impartial trial is in the balance ... this Court ... will and should go beyond the legal technicalities that may be required under other circumstances, so that the accused may be assured of that impartial trial which the Constitution guarantees to him.”
