*338Evans, Judge,
concurring specially.
Occasionally the Supreme Court renders an outstanding decision that deserves paeans of praise and accolades garnished with plaudits!
Such is this one, which reverses the Court of Appeals, which had voted against my position 8 to 1.
My arguments to my learned colleagues fell on deaf ears. My distinguished and able associates, while sometimes right, in this case acted more like Gray’s heroes whom he sought to excuse with: "But Knowledge to their eyes her ample page,... did ne’er unroll.” I tried the soft approach of argument to no avail; The Supreme Court uses the mailed fist approach of mandate!
And so ends another case and as our Oriental friends so often say: "Ah, so.”!
