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.
““The same principal is stated in United States v. Smith, 2 Cir., 68 F.2d 38, 39 , as, follows: ‘The test is not what the appellee actually did or what one might be reasonably expected to do when in need of means for a livelihood. But the test is whether the insured was able to work and did work after the lapse of the policy without impairment to his health. If he did so at peril to his health, he may still be regarded as permanently and totally disabled.’ ” McHam v. United States, supra, 87 F.Supp, at page 86.”
