Warning against "the hasty abandonment of our liberty in the illusion that by adopting tyrannical measures we stave off tyranny," United States Representative Tom Eliot '28 spoke before the Harvard Liberal Union on "A Democratic Defense" yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock in the Kirkland House Junior Common Room.
