Uncivil Disobedienceexamines the roles violence and terrorism have played in the exercise of democratic ideals in America. Jennet Kirkpatrick explores how crowds, rallying behind the principle of popular sovereignty and desiring to make law conform to justice, can disdain law and engage in violence. She exposes the hazards of democracy that arise when citizens seek to control government directly, and demonstrates the importance of laws and institutions as limitations on the will of the people. Kirkpatrick looks at some of the most explosive instances of uncivil disobedience in American history: the contemporary militia movement, Southern lynch mobs, frontier vigilantism, and militant abolitionism. She argues that the groups behind these violent episodes are often motivated by admirable democratic ideas of popular power and autonomy. Kirkpatrick shows how, in this respect, they are not so unlike the much-admired adherents of nonviolent civil disobedience, yet she reveals how those who engage in violent disobedience use these admirable democratic principles as a justification for terrorism and killing. She uses a \"bottom-up\" analysis of events to explain how this transformation takes place, paying close attention to what members of these groups do and how they think about the relationship between citizens and the law. Uncivil Disobediencecalls for a new vision of liberal democracy where the rule of the people and the rule of law are recognized as fundamental ideals, and where neither is triumphant or transcendent.

Mr. Ginzburg's eventual conviction on the obscenity charge hinged not on the content of his publications but on their promotion. The Supreme Court held that if \"the purveyor's sole emphasis is on the sexually provocative aspects of his publications,\" that could justify a finding of obscenity for content that might otherwise be marginally acceptable.

The cause was multiple myeloma, a cancer of the bones, said Shoshana Ginzburg, his wife and collaborator. First published in 1962, Eros was a stunningly designed hardcover \"magbook\" devoted to eroticism.

Mr. [Ralph Ginzburg] later found himself on the short end of another Supreme Court decision, this time in a libel case brought by Sen. Barry Goldwater. The lawsuit was the result of another Ginzburg creation -- Fact magazine -- that polled thousands of psychiatrists regarding Mr. Goldwater's fitness to be president. Mr. Ginzburg then wrote an article prior to the 1964 election that said results showed that the senator was paranoid. This time, however, the penalty was only $1 in compensatory damages and $25,000 in punitive damages.

Ralph. We, classmates, colleagues, and lifelong friends, mourn his death.

He published a literary and art magazine John Lennon and Pablo Picasso loved.

In 1963, he was convicted of obscenity for using allegedly \"salacious'' promotional methods. ([Ralph Ginzburg] had sought to mail Eros from Intercourse, Pa.) Ginzburg laughed off the charges. Goldwatersued for libel, winning $1 in compensatory damages and $75,000 in punitive damages from Ginzburg and the magazine. Once again, the case went to the Supreme Court, which upheld the damage verdicts in 1970.

''[Roosevelt] is faced with a serious conflict,'' she said. ''Through strictly controlled growth, we've managed to retain the architectural integrity and communal spirit of the original settlement. But our only source of income is real-estate taxes, and the homeowners' burden is becoming intolerable.'' ''I used to press his pants,'' said Faith Penalver of the First Aid Squad. ''Really, I worked in my grandmother's dry-cleaning store in Princeton. He used to bring us his pants all the time.''
