Quotations

“[F]ifteen friends met at our house to discuss ‘doing something’ about the war in Vietnam. We wanted to do something that would communicate our horror and disgust to our elected representatives in one concerted action.” (Feb. 8, 1967, in “War is Not Healthy”, Age of Reason, Feb. 28, 2008; photo donnareed.org)
