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 3 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“Smith’s other application was for a naked baby doll which has the natural or life-like characteristics and the form and posture of a baby. The legs are drawn up toward the trunk and one foot overlaps the other, the feet pointing slightly downward.... One hand rests upon the abdomen and the other on a knee. The head is turned slightly to one side and there is a pleasing, smiling, baby expression on the face. While the postures and features of the doll may not in all respects be those of a living baby, they do not fall far short of being such.”
