- (not assigned): Printed text reads: I recall what Thoreau said in his famous essay on civil disobedience, "under a government which imprisons unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison." to me therefore, prison is a very creative way to say yes to life and no to war. Thomas Lewis of the Catonsville Nine / They were trying to make an outcry, an anguished outcry to reach the American community before it was too late. I think this is an element of free speech to try-when all else fails-to reach the community Kunstler-defense lawyer for Catonsville Nine
