"[T]he judge referred to 'the rule of last resort' ... to the effect that, if two sections of the same statute are repugnant, the known rule is that the last must prevail ... . If there ever was such a principle, it is long since obsolete. Such a mechanical approach to the construction of statutes is altogether out of step with the modern, purposive approach to the interpretation of statutes and documents." (p. 886)
