SEE WHAT HAPPENS when you allow yourself to be convinced that your principles are self-evident and universal? See what happens when you give up on the prospect of ever persuading Southern Whites to abandon Jim Crow? When you turn, instead, to the civil rights lawyers and begin the long, painful ascent through state and federal, courts. See what happens when the Supreme Court upholds a woman’s right to abortion? See what happens when you tell White men, already alienated by the claims and counter-claims of the Black civil rights, women’s liberation, and anti-Vietnam War movements, that the liberals are coming for their guns?
