...Lies & Lawyers" [May 13] missed the opportunity to clear the air. Professor Freedman had a right to speak even if he is dead wrong-and he is. But the public is misled about the role of defense lawyers at a time when this role is so vital. There is no valid difference of opinion on whether or not a lawyer should allow his client to commit perjury. The Canons of Ethics are not ambiguous here: Canon 15 commands that the lawyer "obey his own conscience and not that of his client." No duty owed the client by the lawyer...
...reached Mao's Stage 3 of massed battles in the revolutionary manual, Thailand is still in Stage 1. That is the organization of insurrection of the grass roots-and the Thais have a chance to arrest it there. Though the gunfire now resounds in Viet Nam, the vital core on which all Southeast Asia depends, as a glance at any map shows, is in reality Thailand.

Your editorial reflects an apparent failure on your part to acquaint yourself with Nader's published work; should you do so, you will find that it is well researched and documented, and hardly flamboyant. Your shock at his comments...
...banning of the NUSAS president is probably the first step in an attempt to ban the organization completely. The largest remaining multi-racial organization in South Africa, NUSAS plays a vital role in preserving the anti-government minority centered around the English-speaking universities. As it has done in the past with the Liberal Party and the Defense and Aid Fund, the South African government hopes, by removing the NUSAS leaders, to intimidate the student union's members and brand the whole body as communist. Though Vorster has admitted (with unusual sophistication) that all members of NUSAS were not communists...
