"Our apologies, good friends, for the fracture of good order, the burning of paper instead of children, the angering of the orderlies in the front parlor of the charnel house. We could not, so help us God, do otherwise." — Daniel Berrigan, about the burning of three hundred A-1 draft files in Catonsville, Maryland, on May 17th, 1968 in a protest against the Vietnam war.
