The article explores the liberty policy in the U.S. during the administration of former U.S. president George W. Bush. The author relates that the Bush administration has seen significant restrictions of individual liberty policies such as the aggressive surveillance of international communications, torture, and the consistent effort to hide some of its most important policy decisions from the American public. The author stresses that these policies had undermined the fundamental value of the Americans toward individual liberty. Furthermore, the author notes that the government's policies, programs, and judgments should be in the assessment of the citizens and not by them.

We report on photometric and spectroscopic observations and analysis of the 2019 superoutburst of TCP J21040470+4631129. This object showed a 9 mag superoutburst with early superhumps and ordinary superhumps, which are the features of WZ Sge-type dwarf novae. Five rebrightenings were observed after the main superoutburst. The spectra during the post-superoutburst stage showed Balmer, He i, and possible sodium doublet features. The mass ratio is derived as 0.0880(9) from the period of the superhump. During the third and fifth rebrightenings, growing superhumps and superoutbursts were observed, which have never been detected during a rebrightening phase among WZ Sge-type dwarf novae with multiple rebrightenings. To induce a superoutburst during the brightening phase, the accretion disk needs to have expanded beyond the 3 : 1 resonance radius of the system again after the main superoutburst. These peculiar phenomena can be explained by the enhanced viscosity and large radius of the accretion disk suggested by the higher luminosity and the presence of late-stage superhumps during the post-superoutburst stage, plus by more mass supply from the cool mass reservoir and/or from the secondary because of the enhanced mass transfer than those of other WZ Sge-type dwarf novae.

The article focuses on legacy of Chief Justice Earl Warren and states should have the power to segregate public school. It mentions Warren Court had a vision of the role that the highest court should play in American government and Warren Court's most fundamental commitment was to the principles of democracy. It also mentions Warren Court protected the interests of African Americans in the Jim Crow South, who were effectively kept from voting in many place.

We report a long-term (1961-2017) study of the eclipse times in the dwarf nova WZ Sagittae, in an effort to learn its rate of orbital-period change. Some wiggles with a timescale of 20-50 years are apparent, and a connection with the ?23 year interval between dwarf-nova eruptions is possible. These back-and-forth wiggles dominate the O-C diagram, and prevent a secure measurement of the steady rate of orbital-period change.
