guarding the rights of minority
groups.
If Prosecutor O'Brien will kindly

civil questions about civil liberties.
EIRST, incidentally, we might
Il point out that the phrase civil
liberties has suffered harsh treat
ment, lately. It was a brave and
robust phrase in the early days of
this republic, when such liberties
were in grave jeopardy and men
were willing to die to preserve them.
But, of recent years, it has been
shorn of its honor and stolen and re
modelled into shabby intent by the
left-wing riff raft among us, few of
whom would die for any principle.
Currently, it is one of the pet phrases
