New York, Nov. 19—In September of 1963, I wrote in this column that the late George Sokolsky, a syndicated columnist, had summoned Roy Cohn to Sokolsky’s summer place in Otis, Massachusetts, there to give him information from a confidential source. It was this: that Robert Kennedy, the Attorney General, had vowed to “get” Roy Cohn. Many readers scoffed at this allegation. And then, after the tragedy at Los Angeles, a discussion of the matter was somehow distasteful. Any criticism of Robert Kennedy tasted vaguely Sirhanite. But the deposition of Professor Younger in the October issue of Commentary cannot be ignored.
Irving Younger, now a professor of law at Cornell University, was once a young Assistant Attorney on the staff of Robert Morgenthau, who was then United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. One morning the buzzer on Younger’s desk rang, requiring his immediate presence in the office of his chief.
