...hymn-singing demonstrators, many of them bused into Raleigh by a group of fundamentalist churches, besieged wavering legislators. The anti-ERA crowd filled the air with choruses of Amazing Grace! and waved placards declaring ERA the PUBLIC ENEMY NUMBER ONE. Former U.S. Senator Sam Ervin Jr. added his country-lawyer counsel against the amendment. Said Ervin: "ERA would nullify any laws that make any distinction between men and women.

...Kunstler is surely aware that I helped to prepare the brief on behalf of Ms. Little's trial lawyer who was facing disciplinary proceedings for his role in Ms. Little's trial. I have repeatedly spoken out against the denial of counsel to Ms. Little and others. Mr. Kunstler also neglected to mention that I participated in the preparation of the brief in Kunstler's own appeal to the Seventh Circuit from his contempt conviction growing out of the "Chicago Seven" trial. He also knows that I have spoken out in behalf of the "Wilmington Ten," participated in the defense...
