...complaints about Phillips seemed difficult to take seriously after a 25-year-old former cop, Edward Droge Jr., was called as a witness late in the week. After four years on the force, Droge left the department earlier this year to continue his education at the University of Southern California. He testified that of the 70 patrolmen he had known at the 80th precinct in the Bedford-Stuyvesant area of Brooklyn, only two were not on the take. Despite the fact that Droge won eight citations, he casually accepted payoffs in cash or weapons. Gamblers would throw a roll...
...Young Americans for Freedom (YAF) and the right-wing elements of the Harvard-Radcliffe Young Republican Club. Their announced list of speakers forced the "Teach-in" into the forefront of the community's consciousness, for it included Bui Diem, South Vietnam's Ambassador to the United States, Dolf Droge, a White House advisor on Indochina, and Anand Sandering Ham, Royal Thai Ambassador to the U.

When Spiro Agnew comes to town, there can be 5000 people in the streets screaming Murder. And when Dolph Droge comes to Harvard to plead the case of murder there will be people who absolutely refuse to hear anymore, who cannot contain their outrage as Droge unfolds his dissection map of Southeast Asia. Who cry Murder Murder, and will not stop, and will not hear any "explanation...
THERE CAN be no punishment. The University will conduct its witch hunt in the name and outraged defense of a supposed value neutrality. Yet there will be an implicit value judgment: freedom of speech for Dolph Droge is more important to Harvard University than freedom to live for the Vietnamese. Dolph Droge's daily conduct denies that second freedom, and people came to Sanders Theatre to protest that denial of rights...
