...Your report [April 5] on the Dalton School was most unfair. Instead of heaping snide ridicule on the school and Mr. Donald Barr, its headmaster, you should have reported that a group of trustees, in utter disregard of the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the parents, has attempted to oust Mr. Barr. The P.T.A. removed Dr. Myron Hofer, the only representative of the parents on the board of trustees, from his P.T.A. offices because he failed to in form the parents fairly and openly of his and the board's actions.

You could not walk down a street or drive a car without being stopped repeatedly, questioned and often arrested. And you could never go anywhere alone. If you did, if you had no witnesses around, you were risking a lot of pain. I remember driving around Washington Tuesday morning, feeling like...
...letters, if they are authentic, indicate that Sister Elizabeth wrote to Berrigan "in utter confidence" on Aug. 20, 1970, that she had attended a meeting in Connecticut at which a plan "to kidnap -in our terminology make a citizen's arrest of-someone like Henry Kissinger" was discussed. He was picked "because of his influence as policymaker yet sans Cabinet status, he would not be as much protected as one of the bigger wigs," and because "he is a bachelor, which would mean if he were so guarded, he would be anxious to have unguarded moments where he could...
