"Unicorn Killer" Ira Einhorn, at the first Earth Day rally in Philadelphia (April 22, 1970).
I was just about to remind this thread that news reports detailing the “history” of today as Earth Day, are inevitably going to try skirting any mention of the great Ira Einhorn, murderer FINALLY serving time in prison/
Might reflect badly on both E day and Arlen Specter, the lawyer who made his escape not only possible but likely.
