...fairly typical consolidation precipitated the hearings. To save the failing Tucson Daily Citizen in 1940, the Arizona Daily Star combined its advertising and business departments with the other paper. Both remained separate editorially. In 1965, the Star chose to sell. Under the 1940 agreement, the now prosperous Citizen had first option: it bought the Star with the explanation that it would resell the paper as soon as a suitable purchaser could be found. At that point, the Justice Department filed suit not only to break up the merger but to nullify the original joint operating agreement as well...
...Committee heard from more than 60 residents, as well as community and civil rights workers who live and work in the ghetto. There was also participation by some public officials who discussed their programs and responded to questions raised at the meeting, but many officials chose to ignore the Committee's invitation.

Those who would condemn civil disobedience must face up to the fact that persons who have committed it in the past have not all been eccentric nuts, but have often been clearly vandicated by time. Socrates is one example; he chose to die in behalf of free speech. Gandhi is another; it was his sojourn in South Africa in the 1890's that led him to civil disobedience and arrest, and to the formulation of his theories of non-violent action (ahimsa and satyagraha). He took the view that every citizen is responsible for every act of his government...

What began as a small, private affair was quickly magnified when the Crime chose to publicize it, and I found myself the living symbol of Harvard snobbery. Mother was so proud; Mr. Crooks, unfortunately...
