     I just assisted a patron who was looking for the case that is the
     basis of a new Steven Spielberg movie called Amistad. Apparantly there
     is a lot of controversy over the movie and people may be looking for
     the case. (it was argued by John Quincy Adams in 1841.) The cite is:
     40 US 518 (15 Peters 518) 1841.
