And when the dust had settled
In September '78 With a smile upon his face
'Twas Glasser at the plate The ACLU's whole future was
Now tied to Ira's fate The members,

That he would bat his weight Somewhere EOs tremble
And directors scream and shout Somewhere programs falter
And the future is in doubt Somewhere the non-profits
Have all but lost their clout But they're all smiles
