There have been several developments during the year regarding jurisdiction over nonresidents. In 1947 the legislature passed a statute requiring "any unincorporated association or organization, whether resident or nonresident," which was doing or desiring to do business in the state to appoint an agent for the service of process and providing that in case of failure to appoint the agent, service might be had on the Secretary of State.' The constitutionality of this act, as applied to foreign associations has since been upheld. A current amendment to the section has added the words "including non-resident partnerships" at the end of the phrase in quotation marks above.

The number of torts cases was somewhat less this year than in past years, being below the forty figure rather than above it. There were no particularly significant legal developments in the field. Perhaps the cases indicate, however, a developing fashion in automobile negligence actions. At least four of the cases seem to have been brought for whiplash injuries.'

The idea of an annual survey of the law of a particular jurisdiction is not a new one, either in this country or abroad. During a period of at least 25 years an increasing number of publications have undertaken to present such a survey. The task is a delicate one, and performances have been somewhat uneven. A mere digest of appellate opinions or a scissors-and-paste collection of expressed rules of law serves some useful purpose but scarcely justifies separate existence. On the other hand an exhaustive discussion of most of the individual decisions prevents a view of the forest for the trees. The true field of the survey should lie between these extremes. A competent survey should collect the cases, organize them and discuss them critically, referring to practically all of the cases but using discrimination in determining which of them warrant individualized treatment. The significance of these cases should be shown, including their relationship to the body of law already existing in the jurisdiction and their implications for the future; on suitable occasion comparison should be made with the state of the law in other jurisdictions and the views of text writers. The annual developments in each field of the law will thus be presented in unified perspective. Experience has shown that, for the lawyers of the jurisdiction involved, a carefully prepared survey of this sort has proved very valuable.

The history of the two torts of defamation and unwarranted invasion of the right of privacy has been greatly different. Defamation developed over a period of many centuries, with the twin torts of libel and slander having completely separate origins and historical growth. Professor Street summarizes this history by declaring that there was "a perversion of evolutionary processes," with the result that there was produced "a rather heterogeneous pile which should normally have gone to form a consistent body of legal doctrine, but which on the contrary, comprises many disconnected fragments moving in a confused way under the impulse of different principles." He concludes that the verdict which must be reached regarding "this branch of the law" is that it was "marred in the making." Efforts at judicial and legislative reform have not proved very successful.

We outline training programs for multiply handicapped, visually impaired persons who have historically been served by agencies not geared to address their special needs. A continuum of services designed to meet the living and employment training needs of multiply handicapped, visually impaired persons deemed ineligible for vocational rehabilitation services is presented. The Opportunities Unlimited Work Activities Center program is discussed along with the population it serves and the interagency mechanism around which it is designed.

Believing that the holdings and opinions in the case of Maki v. Frelkare significant legal developments, the Vanderbilt Law Review has solicited comments on these decisions, which it is now pleased to publish. These comments by six distinguished torts teachers and writers bear on the relative merits of comparative and contributory negligence, but more importantly, they discuss whether the judicial or legislative method is most appropriate for adoption of a rule of comparative negligence. It is hoped that these comments will be used as a sound basis for action, whether the problem arises before the courts or legislatures.
