Document. An article entitled "Cardinal says respect dissent; don't abuse it". ~ Cardinal Cushing believes that Americans will lose their most precious values if they suppress the right of dissent or allow it to deteriorate into violence. Gordon wants the 300 women to take the issues of war in Southeast Asia and dissent to local parishes. He told the women they could be effective in setting up information booths, workshops similar to those at struck universities, or "some form of opposition to an unjust war" in local parishes.
