Harvard professor jailed in Pentagon Papers contempt
Harvard Government professor Samuel L. Popkin was jailed for refusing to answer three grand jury questions about the Pentagon Papers release. Judge Garrity denied defenses to vacate or suspend the contempt sentence, and Popkin was sent to Norfolk County Jail. The case centers on the 1971 Boston grand jury investigating the study’s origins and release to the press.
