description: Five exemplary defendants, a cast-iron judge, an anachronistic indictment, a government determined to quell a particular flow of dissent - this is the picture that sharply emerges as Jessica Mitford chronicles at first hand the trial of Dr. the prosecution in Boston, in 1968, of the almost-legendary baby doctor and his four co-defendants on a charge of conspiracy to counsel, aid and abet violations of the Selective Service Act.
