...soldiers realize that dissent may be lengthening the war, or at least reducing any inclination the North Vietnamese might have to negotiate. But Congressmen Hebert and Rivers, and others who try to stifle dissent, are seeking to destroy one of the very freedoms we're defending. We'd rather the Carmichaels and Kings abuse these freedoms than have our Congressmen limit them and destroy them. Even a few kooks burning draft cards aren't as disheartening as a Congressman crying, "Let's forget the First Amendment...

...size of the award was largely due to the jury's finding of "willful and wanton" misconduct by Drackett. One of the most chemically active products made for the home, Drāno produces hydrogen gas and generates heat of 212° to melt or otherwise destroy materials clogging a drain; all it takes to start it sizzling is contact with water. Mrs. Moore's lawyer contended that moisture had somehow got into the can, and that the company was aware that this could happen. Its quality-control department, he said, had noted "that the material itself...
