...Pale Imitation. On the Eastern Seaboard, echoes of history mingled with the pressures of the present. More than 4,000 demonstrators mustered on the Boston Common before a draft-card burning at which 67 men ignited their cards with a candlestick once owned by William Ellery Channing, the 19th century Unitarian divine and Thoreauvian advocate of civil disobedience, who wrote: "Our first duties are not to our country. We belong first to God and next to our race." Yale Chaplain William Sloane Coffin, a longtime activist who has marched against Southern white racism as well as the war, conceded that...
...trespasses on the ears. And certainly, certainly not Bobby Kennedy, who was once a neat trim but who lately resembles a sheep dog-or maybe a sheep. Presumably long hair is now a political asset, although Washington's most notorious tousle, Everett Dirksen, declines comment as "below the pale."

And the inescapable question is clearly: if they are not the people of the European ghettos, then who are they and how have they changed...
...Mass as required in this diocese. What we were doing was quite within all the rules. No "letter" was broken by our spirit. What happened was that the Cardinal had a newly restrictive letter written forbidding priests to celebrate with us, so that we would be beyond his pale. This we called a clear case of episcopal overkill. Our continuing public record thus conflicts utterly with your oversimplified description of us as underground or informal, either in form or substance...
