The following excerpt is from Whiting v. Dow Chemical Co., 523 F.2d 680 (2nd Cir. 1975):
In the words of the present Chief Justice, "(i)n addition to the intent and purpose of the legislation which we must glean from the statute as a whole rather than from isolated parts, we must consider the results which would flow from each of the two interpretations contended for. If we find one interpretation tends to carry out and the other to defeat the purposes of the statute, the resolution of the issue becomes simple." Adler v. Klawans, supra, 267 F.2d at 844.
