520 |a "In a sound and restrained look at the Philadelphia Smith Act case, Professor Labovitz has skillfully recreated both the history and the ambience of his unique experience and has detailed a triumph of constitutional courage. In giving us an inside and close-up view of the impact of a Smith Act prosecution and by putting flesh and faces on the suffering and anxiety of defendants and their families, he has performed a great service. By keeping our memory of these frightening events fresh, we might hone our vigilance against any potential resurgence of the virulent and hysterical McCarthyism that prevailed in the '50s and '60's." John Rogers Carroll, Esq.
