The Ford Foundation has had questionable activity over a long period of time. "I learned that the Ford Foundation had paid Harvard University for its publication and distribution throughout the nation, sending free copies to libraries, federal judges and others in sensitive positions. It is my understanding that at least 30,000 copies were thus distributed at the expense of the Ford Foundation. With that background my curiosity got the best of me. I turned to late decisions of the Supreme Court, decided after Griswold's book came out. Sure enough, Mr. Justice Clark used Griswold's The Fifth Amendment Today (1955) in the case of Harry Slochower v. Board of Education of New York, 350 U.S. 551, 76 S. Ct. 637. The facts reported in the case show that Prof. Slochower invoked the privilege against self-incrimination under the Fifth Amendment -- not in "any criminal case," -- but before an investigating committee of the United States Senate." This is from R. Carter Pittman's first hand account: http://www.rcarterpittman.org/essays/Bill_of_Rights/Subversion_of_Fifth_Amendment.html
