"A man of conscience." The phrase seems almost quaint today when most leaders talk largely about tactics, strategies, and short-term goals while not rocking the boat.

But some of us remember the agonizing efforts of conscientious objectors during the Vietnam War - men and women of substance such as military analyst Daniel Ellsberg who released the Pentagon Papers, which the Washington Post's Katherine Graham published; Mohammad Ali who gave up his heavyweight title rather than submit to the draft; and Father Daniel Berrigan, a Roman Catholic priest, and his brother Philip, a Josephite priest, who wound up on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list for their antiwar/peace activism.
