...singing demonstrators, many of them bused into Raleigh by a group of fundamentalist churches, besieged wavering legislators. The anti-ERA crowd filled the air with choruses of Amazing Grace! and waved placards declaring ERA the PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE. Former U.S. Senator Sam Ervin Jr. added his country-lawyer counsel against the amendment. Said Ervin: "ERA would nullify any laws that make any distinction between men and women. When the good Lord created the earth, he didn't have the advice of Bella Abzug and Gloria Steinem. If any woman is being discriminated against on account...

In the meantime, he is undergoing psychiatric examination at Parchman, where he is being protected by a trusted lifer assigned him by the warden.

For example, Steiner this week revealed Bok's previously undisclosed rejection of a large donation from a "rather repressive government that seemed to be trying...
...Kunstler is surely aware that I helped to prepare the brief on behalf of Ms. Little's trial lawyer who was facing disciplinary proceedings for his role in Ms. Little's trial. I have repeatedly spoken out against the denial of counsel to Ms. Little and others. Mr. Kunstler also neglected to mention that I participated in the preparation of the brief in Kunstler's own appeal to the Seventh Circuit from his contempt conviction growing out of the "Chicago Seven" trial. He also knows that I have spoken out in behalf of the "Wilmington Ten," participated in the defense...
