...LONG after a predominantly female jury cleared her of coneptracy in the massacre at the Marin County Hall of Justice. Angela Davis appeared in Dallas as the Keynote speaker of the 15th annual convention of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. To climax the convention, she followed Rev.

Since Moondance, that statement has been joyous. Van Morrison makes music that's fun to listen to; comes straight to your heart like a cannonball...
...contests that she bought the shootout weapons. Or that she was friendly with young Jonathan Jackson, perpetrator of the Marin County courtroom kidnaping in which a judge and three others died. The prosecution argues that such facts show means and opportunity. Miss Davis' flight into hiding after the plot failed will be offered as proof of guilty behavior...
