...South Africa who were of the same frail flesh and blood as us, and wanted the same things we did, were fighting hard every day. They faced an array of power we could only try to imagine. They fought with a courage and a belief in themselves that was distinct from anything we had ever known. They were winning, inexplicably and miraculously.

Not simply because they were fighting for us, but because they were fighting for the very possibility of good in a nearly universally corrupted world...

Nonetheless, the government prosecution has no discernible scope or pattern, and its actions leave the distinct impression that it is engaged in a "fishing expedition" to acquire information which may lead to evidence for its court case. Prosecutors are doubtless also seeking to obtain information about anti-war resistance in the Boston area to which they would otherwise have no legal access, and the grand jury...
