Throughout the week's proceedings, Ellsberg's chief counsel, Leonard Boudin, 60, also showed wear. Though a veteran of the trials of Dr. Benjamin Spock and the Rev. Philip Berrigan, Boudin has always been more at home with appellate procedures than in trial law, and he faltered in his questioning, so much so that Judge William Matthew Byrne himself frequently took up the line of inquiry. Reliant on a heart pacemaker, Boudin finally was ordered to rest by his doctor. The proceedings were suspended until this week, when Ellsberg is expected to take the stand again...
...concerning the quality of ingredients in food and beverage imports, something they seldom did in the days before Britain entered the EEC. Ronald Davidson, owner of Osborne House, has pleaded that the pork pies fit into the allowed category of pate en croute, that his sausages are really boudin blanc, and that Rose's Lime Juice is a permissible fruit extract.

I don't like public or private bureaucracy, and the whole trouble with left-wing movements is so much private bureaucracy." Nor has he limited his political practice (which earns him no more than about $30,000 a year) to left-wing cases.

Kathy is still on the FBI's Wanted list. Boudin declines to talk about...
...Although Boudin has spent a life devoted to the law, he remains skeptical of some of its major institutions-particularly the courts. Citing the "deference to the Executive, the unwillingness to decide issues relating to the legality of the war," he says: "All of this makes me less sure that the law is the answer I once thought it was." He rejects the violent alternative apparently chosen by his daughter, and has almost equally strong doubts about the process of education (though he lectured at Harvard last year). "While I see no alternative but to continue the process," he says...
