When nine Seattle radicals were sued by a modern-day McCarthyite, they risked everything to keep Freedom Socialist Party records from being seized. Their unorthodox, 8-year defense campaign roused international support and their daring legal strategies set precedents that benefit all activists and rabble-rousers.
