Ostensibly, the hearings before Senator Gaylord Nelson's monopoly subcommittee in Washington last week did not constitute a trial, either of the Pill or of its proponents. The Wisconsin Democrat repeatedly expressed his resentment of any suggestion that they were so intended. But the atmosphere in the hearing room was tense with ill-concealed hostility between the Pill's attackers and its defenders. The give-and-take between Senators and witnesses, and even between Senators, had the tone of courtroom adversary procedure.

Says Senator Edmund S. Muskie: "In the past, we had to fight against all kinds...
...subjects are more likely to attract widespread TV and press coverage than an investigation of the dangers of the Pill, now used by 9,000,000 women in the U.S. alone. In full awareness of that fact, Wisconsin's Senator Gaylord Nelson used his monopoly subcommittee last week to conduct a highly publicized investigation of the oral contraceptive that at times seemed more like a trial than an empirical examination of the available medical evidence...
