Pentagon Papers thief and hero Daniel Ellsberg, antiwar and antinuclear activist who escaped lifelong imprisonment because of government misconduct, turned 92 this week. Terminally ill, he sent a powerful letter to friends and comrades. Norm Diamond reads from that letter about Ellsberg’s fears and hopes for our political future.
