Quote that changed me
"The security of the Nation is not at the ramparts alone. Security also lies in the value of our free institutions. A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know."
U.S. District Court Judge Murray Gurfein, a Nixon appointee, in deciding the Pentagon Papers case on June 19, 1971, his first week in office. The U.S. Supreme Court concurred a few days later. This case was instrumental in my decision to pursue a Ph.D. and enter the teaching profession.
