...King didn't save-that's fair enough, yeah. In that section that involved Protestants, Catholics and Jews, our three major religious organizations, the feeling I tried to set down is that, in spite of all the professions of religiosity, that these groups are more politically involved than in any other consideration. I think I did say that this man came along talking about religion, dealing with religion, and he was met with violence. As far as I'm concerned, religion had its last opportunity to flourish or reflourish . . . when Martin Luther King was alive...
...walk the point is to be the most exposed man in the column. In spite of his failure to take full advantage of the situation, King had been on the point at Montgomery. The eight bombings testify to that. After Montgomery, perhaps out of fear or a sense of self importance, King began to retreat from his position in the vanguard. As early as 1963, his presence in the front line was irregular, and his last arrest was even before the Hoover confrontation.

...Miss Day's slanders. Mr. Evan Thomas in his article, "As Yet Unnamed Professor May Face Discipline Soon" on May 7th alleged that I was the student filing charges against a certain University professor for his disruption of our Counter Teach-In.

In his description of one of the hearings in which I was a complainant Mr. Magalif chose...

At one point he was named editor of the party newspaper Al Gomhouria, and he filled it with tirades against U.S. Secretary of State John Foster Dulles and the "felonious and stupid horde" of British and French government figures. A devout Moslem who prays so often and so intensely that he has developed a mark on his forehead where it touches the prayer mat, Sadat was later made secretary-general of the Islamic Congress, an organization of Islamic nations. Because...
...tactics of non-violence, predicated at least in part on the restraint of the government. were sensible. The government is, in spite of what we imagine it may become, or what we announce to be its underlying ideology, somewhat restrained at home. While no judges yet rule for the Vietnamese, they sometimes rule for demonstrators over the machinery of repression. Judge Green demanded that the government "show cause" as to why the mass arrests were necessary. And another judge ruled that those arrested without cause could not have their fingerprints and mug shots placed in FBI files...
