This document appears to be a page from a manuscript (possibly by Alan Dershowitz, given the context of such document dumps) discussing legal history. It details the 1963 Supreme Court dissent in *Rudolph v. Alabama* regarding the death penalty for rape, specifically focusing on Justices Brennan and Douglas. It highlights the media backlash, specifically an aggressive editorial from the *New Hampshire Union Leader* accusing the justices of encouraging rape.
