...rejected the techniques of picketing and demonstrating which they had taken over from England's Aldermaston Marchers, since college students could perform a different and probably more valuable_ role in the fight by using their minds rather than their feet.

"The victory of the law," said Father Murray, "only raises a further and more profound issue for the social conscience of our country. When the limits of law have been reached as they have, the whole issue, in all its subtlety of reach, is inescapably presented to the higher tribunal of conscience...
