...made a celebrated wartime trip to Hanoi, where he audaciously attacked U.S. policies in the capital of the enemy. Before Watergate erupted, he lashed out at the Nixon Administration's anticrime and wiretapping policies. He defended the Rev. Philip Berrigan in his conspiracy trial. He allowed Herbert Blyden, a leader in the Attica rebellion, to second his nomination for the Senate at the state Democratic convention.

And he broods. He once told one of his lawyers not to bring him books. "Can't you understand?" he shouted. "I have nothing, and if you give me books I'll treasure them, and then they'll take them away from me, and I couldn't stand...
