Johnson, former Director of the Michigan Department of Corrections, who has written a number of papers in opposition to capital punishment; Eugene G. Wanger, a Lansing attorney who was most responsi- ble for the 1963 Michigan constitutional ban on the death penalty; Watt Espy, who has probably collected more resource material regarding capital punishment than exists in any other place at the Capital Punishment Research Project Library, Box 277, Headland, Alabama 36345; the State Appellate Defenders' Office, Lansing, Michigan; Professor Thomas L.
