...battle to repudiate the county's lawmakers was involved. Bryant's Save Our Children, Inc. rallied some 3,000 volunteers, who rang bells, sent out mailings, manned phones and chauffeured the elderly to the polls. The association won the support of a key conservative rabbi, fundamentalist Protestant clergymen and Roman Catholic Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll, who wrote an anti-statute message that was read to the faithful at Masses. In addition, the local TV stations, the Miami News and the Miami Herald opposed the ordinance...
Although the Class is as heterogeneous professionally as it is politically, the occupations and the $40,000 median income are about what one would expect of typical Harvard classes, past or present.

There is an excellent chapter on the life of Margaret Fuller, the American Transcendentalist who challenged the sentimental female stereotype by participating in the activity and danger of Italy's struggle for independence. Douglas also offers a penetrating chapter in which...
...there. Scorn is reserved for the meddling "goo-goos," the knee-jerk liberals who vanish in crisis, the Brattle Street chic who, safely on the sidelines, their children in private schools, applaud Garrity's ruling. At times, Liberty's Chosen Home is devastating social history: the concerned group of clergymen unable to agree on a joint statement about the crisis over their breakfast at the Harvard Club; the silence of civil libertarians when the TPF went into the Rabbit Inn with clubs swinging; the bizarre and absurd posturing by the Boston Globe, including an article in which veterans...
