Well, there are people in this country who are governed by ideas that do not come out of the pages of the Times and the Daily News, and their numbers grow every day.

Did he ever actually say it?

Supposedly (according to the NYT obituary), Bill Epton's trial settled the question of whether it was constitutional to say 'burn, baby, burn'. However, I can't find it stated anywhere that he actually said those words. Is there any source that reliably attributes them to him, or is it just a widespread misconception?
