This was a riveting presentation about the Pentagon papers and the role these three leaders played in exposing the government's lies. I highly recommend a view/listen. Ellsberg took great risks to release them. Gravel, a freshman Senator at the time, took great risks to get them into the public record while The Beacon Press sufferred over 2 years of government abuse for publishing them.
