To make the conflict sharper still, the five defendants were all extremely reputable, particularly Benjamin Spock, the world's foremost and beloved baby doctor, and William Sloane Coffin, Yale's conscience-driven chaplain. They were, in fact, precisely the kind of men whose voices are supposed to be heard on key issues in a free society. Yet their voices had allegedly been jointly raised in support of violations...
