...thorough scientific inspection. He had previously complained that American families waste money on unneeded vitamin pills and had roundly condemned children's candy cigarettes-which he thinks might lead them eventually to the real thing. Last week, though he later qualified his remarks enough to note the legal and possible long-term hazards of marijuana, Goddard's basic equation of pot and liquor still stood. Immediate outrage followed. Among the most incensed was Dr. Robert W. Baird, director of the Haven narcotics clinic in Harlem and chairman of the Suffolk County (N.Y.) narcotics-control commission.

Disgust is the inevitable public reaction to extra-legal protest which infringes on the rights of others. And it lends cerdibility to right-wing charges against the peace movement...
