...what impressed Peck most about the Berrigans were their patriotism--their roots in the Midwest American heartland--and their discipline. Peck knew about neither Phil Berrigan's peace movement past, his hardheaded political analyses and "Just War" philosophy (no pacifist he), nor Dan's more cosmopolitan and poetic development. Sufficient for Peck were the facts that the Catonsville people spoke from their firsthand experiences in Latin American hills and Paris slums; that they then tried to change the government through normal channels; and that their action was non-violent, based on moral guidelines and designed to awaken religious resonances...
Michael Harrington-social democrat, pacifist, intellectual, born Roman Catholic but out of practice-has the scrubbed, care-lined radiance of a man who in other circumstances might well have been a worker-priest, American style.

"I think this war is a disease and a sickness," Chris says, "and people will look back on this movie and say, That...
...pacifist Church of the Brethren, where obvious military investments have always been avoided, Treasurer Robert Greiner questioned the report's blackballing of standard blue chips like A.T. &T. (5.5% military sales, principally the Safeguard ballistic missile system and Nike Hercules missile). "You can't get out of everything," Greiner said. "To be a purist, you could hardly stay in the U.S." Even worse conflicts will probably be raised when the Corporate Information Center starts evaluating industries for their overall "purity," considering such factors as their consumer policies, minority-hiring practices and polluting of the environment.
