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. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 14 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Bearing the foregoing in mind, it cannot be said that the court below erred in concluding that only tennis string put up and packaged for sale in small quantities for ultimate consumers was to be classified as lawn-tennis equipment, and parts thereof. An examination of the record reveals that, at the trial, appellant succeeded in showing only that Elascord is sold to “sporting goods dealers and the tennis professional.” It did not prove that these were sales to the ultimate consumer. Consequently the Customs Court could not have found that the merchandise consisted of “racket strings put up and packaged for retail sale.” Therefore, since it cannot be said that the Customs Court erred on the evidence before it, we affirm. [59 CCPA 142, 145, C.A.D. 1056, 461 F. 2d 830, 832 (1972).]”
