In early 1967, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. informed his advisors that he intended to play a major role in the anti-war movement, advocating immediate withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Vietnam. No major figure of Dr. King's stature had yet been willing to take such a dramatic stand, even those thought to oppose the war, such as Senators Kennedy and McGovern. King knew he would be turning past allies like President Johnson into powerful enemies and reviving the animus of old enemies as well. King's inner circle feared he would trigger a political backlash that could undo the progress made in civil rights. The Conscientious Objector draws upon the historical record, including the FBI's relentless surveillance, often illegal, and the White House's infamous secret telephone recordings.

Winner of a 2005 Obie Award

In 2002, setting aside long-standing deference to the church, a court ordered Cardinal Bernard F. Law, Archbishop of Boston, deposed in two civil suits. This allowed attorneys to question him under oath about his supervision of priests accused of child molestation. They confronted him with thousands of pages of internal church documents going back forty years, among them letters from victims and their families pleading for help that came too little or not at all. But the Cardinal came prepared. Refusing to wilt under relentless questioning, Law resisted accepting culpability for the years of abuse by priests under his charge, insisting he 'didn't remember' or 'can't undo the past.' However, this line of defense, striking some as more expected from a politician or corporate executive than an archbishop, revealed far more than the Cardinal surely intended. Certainly it did to the public. Within months, Law resigned as Boston's Archbishop, surrendering his position as the undisputed leader of the American Catholic Church. The archdiocese he left behind would pay out a hundred million dollars as compensation to victims and their families. For a 'prince of the church,' it was a Shakespearean-like fall from grace - a brilliant and charismatic leader betrayed by the age-old pitfalls of power.
