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 5 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“That this was the purpose of the 1948 amendment is clearly indicated by the re visor’s note: Also the provisions of subsection (b) measuring the punishment by the amount involved were extended and made applicable to the receiver as well as the thief.

[Historical & Revision Notes, following 18 U.S.C.A. § 2113 ].”
