...NONVIOLENCE (from Birmingham jail, 1963): 1 your statement, you asserted that our actions, even though peaceful, must be condemned because they precipitate violence. Isn't this like condemning the robbed man because his possession of money precipitated the evil act of robbery? Isn't this like condemning Jesus because his unique God-consciousness and never-ceasing devotion to God's will precipitated the evil act of the Crucifixion...
When citizenship time comes, Kaplan practices for the judge's (Rufus Smith) questions. Asked to recite the Preamble to the Constitution, the marvelously assured Kaplan rattles off the Boy Scout oath. "That isn't in the Constitution," he is told. His face momentarily clouded in mock chagrin, Kaplan replies, "It isn't? Well, it should be."

Listed for production are such ambitious projects as: Hello, Dolly!; Lawrence...
Still there remains the question: Is this enough? Dr. Salber and her staff say it isn't. But they're bucking decades of medical tradition. "Our funders, the Children's Bureau of the Office of Economic Opportunity and the Mass. Dept. of Public Health, still demand body counts: how many did you see?, what were the diagnoses?, etc. Nobody asks you what community activities you and your staff carried out. This interaction of the staff and the community right in their homes is much more important in getting to the roots of the problems than are the number of people...
