...which reads in part: "I am. . . .conscientiously opposed to participation in war in any form." The absolutism of "war in any form" poses another big problem for many Harvard CO's. Some Harvard CO's are unabashedly opposed only to specific wars. One junior stated, "I will go to jail before I'll go to Vietnam, but I would have fought against Hitler." Another admitted that he can conceive in theory a just war which he would support...
...months he was locked in a windowless cell on the Dallas County Jail's Corridor 6-M. A "suicide watch" jailer looked in on him round the clock; a single naked light bulb glared endlessly over his cot. He could not tell night from day. He devoured all the newspapers he could get, eagerly sifting every line of print to find his name. He did crossword puzzles and browsed through dozens of books (Perry Mason mysteries, sexy novels, the Warren Report, an abstruse volume of erotica titled Virginity-Pre-Nuptial Rites and Rituals).

In announcing his decision last week to take the Palestine Liberation Organization underground, Chairman Ahmed Shukairy declared that for the moment "the primary struggle is against the tyrant of Amman, Hussein, who has betrayed God, the Prophet, and the Palestine cause." The Israelis, however, can draw small comfort...
Even as a teenager, Terence Hallinan was quite a handful. Perhaps he got it from his father, Vincent Hallinan, the fiery San Francisco lawyer who has served at least three jail sentences, including one for contempt (arising from his defense of Harry Bridges) during which he ran for President on the 1952 Progressive Party ticket. Perhaps it all started with a beating that three Marines once gave one of his brothers because he opposed the Korean War. When that happened, Vincent gave his sons boxing lessons. "If you're going to hold radical opinions," he said, "you have...
