Transcription:
the great society, and that exchange 
from that point on may be difficult 
if not impossible.
	I suppose it may be well to 
stay with simple criteria like 
deleting any overt criticism of the 
Pa. environs (as being an issue way 
down to the scale of priorities). It may 
be well to keep in mind also that 
Christianity and Crisis, and the 
Christian Century will go with 
anything that they can get their fin-
gers on - Commonweal may not be 
worthwhile dealing with.
	In addition to the formal 
stuff, it may be good for me to keep 
my eyes open for smaller items, and 
to get these to you via letters. Then of 
course, the trial offers grand 
opportunities for me to stand back 
in admiration of the sublimity of 
justice protecting citizens.
	The Walshes have already moved 
to 26 S. Mount St., and seem happy with 
the possibilities. They are looking for-
ward to the trial and the prospect of 
putting some people up.
