...gratuitous entries into foreign espionage. In his most documented chapters Ungar details the outrageous violations made under the name of COINTELPRO, the counter intelligence program, to harass left-wing groups. Still, Ungar did not embark on this mammoth project with a master design. He wasn't out to prove that the FBI has been a source of evil throughout the Twentieth Century. And he didn't try to prove conspiracy theories in which Hoover-as-homosexual was out to take over the country at any time...

Before they could get similar relief, blacks in other cities would have to bring suit and prove on a case-by-case basis that HUD had violated their basic constitutional rights.

Such procedures consume vast quantities of time and money, even when OSHA has no case at all. One airline was cited for noise violations, only to prove after days of investigation that OSHA'S inspector had read his decibel meter incorrectly...
...easygoing, a little less mean. He no longer spits at the respectable people, as he did in the liner notes of his first major album, Jerry Jeff Walker. Describing two people who were the subject of one song, "Curly and Lil," he wrote, "Their warmth, independence, and self-respect prove to all those pussys who had to 'think of the kids and the old lady' that people can do what they want to decently...
