Marglin said that his so-called radicalization was a gradual progression that...

During one of its principal demonstrations against the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, the Law School’s gay-rights organization confined itself to placing pink soldiers on students’ desks and asking students and faculty to write letters to Congress.
