I'd been waiting for that for two and a half years, I'd done everything I could for two and a half years to prevent it by informing the public, and had totally failed. It had neither convinced anyone nor prevented it. It was the blackest weekend of my life, the one time that I can remember feeling total, absolute despair...

And if those on the far right manage to keep us from speaking tomorrow, how shall we of the left appeal to the undecided center for our right to be heard?
