Born in a World War II detention camp for Japanese Americans near Fresno, Calif, Yoshimura was a familiar figure in the Berkeley street scene and radical movements, including Venceremos.

Yoshimura and three men were indicted by a California grand jury in the conspiracy...
Coaches who had spent weeks working on game plans designed to destroy opening-day opponents were suddenly not sure what team to plot against.

You had better plot dates and crimes, X's and Y's, and allegations against counter-allegations, until you determine who, in the sum of suffering, has done what to whom, and who is innocent. Only that kind of Fact, Boll reminds himself with the self-flagellation of exactitude, can inform correct judgement...
