He contended that the Government's attempt to prove "conspiracy" against the four protesters was based on public, not secret, expressions of dissent against the draft and the war. "The First Amend-ment," argued Godberg, "prohibits conditions on any such basis...

Israel, concerned about the Arabs' increasing confidence and belligerency in recent weeks, abandoned any pretense of attacking only in reprisal and launched a limited offensive against its Arab foes. Egypt's official spokesman said: "We consider ourselves at war," and as much as admitted the reserves were being partially mobilized.
