Sommario/riassunto

This title gives a balanced report of what went on when the New York Times published articles about the then-unknown Vietnam War and how the case made it to the Supreme Court. It also gives lots of detail on the differing opinions and what the ultimate decision was. Also included are questions to consider, primary source documents, and a chronology of the case.
