long delay before rejection on February 6, 1979. The substance of this essay is contained in that chapter (id., 25-28) so readers can determine whether they agree with some board members that it deserved publication. Subsequent submissions were rejected by other legal journals.

Chapter Two, “Dissenters’ Voices Muted in Legal Cases,” gives the details of rejections of their efforts to be heard in court actions, such as failed initially in San Diego (id., 30-31) and then in San Bernardino (id., 33-40) Superior Courts.

Chapter Three, “Dissenters Recognized as Real Parties in San Diego,” reports first their watch on the busing being ordered in Los Angeles (id., 41-43), and the preparation for intervention by the “Groundswell” dissenters in the Carlin case, which was granted (id., 43-49) over dual opposition by the school board and plaintiffs (id., 47).

Chapter Four, “Befriending Busing Dissenters in the Supreme Court,” reflects the interest of San Diegans in broaching by amici curiae, before the high court their concerns in appellate cases which might produce decisions adversely affecting non-party busing opponents like them (id., 51-56).

Brandeis’ famous admonition (id., 67-68):

The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning, but without understanding.

Busing — Opposed then outlines the constitutional background of pertinent cases, including Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of Education (id., 68-80), so busing dissenters can understand and counter on constitutional grounds the zealous busing advocacy they face.

Chapter Six, “The San Diego Dissenters’ Formula For Opposing Busing,” recalls the steps detailed in Chapter 3 to gain intervention (id., 81-85);
