On the Right

New York, Jan. 28—Did you ever see a lie walking?

Well I did. And so did everybody who read the New York Times or any other journal quoting the president of the American Federation of Radio and Television Artists (AFTRA) on January 20. Said Mr. Sanford Wolff about the resolution of a seven-year legal fight between me and Mr. M. Stanton Evans on the one hand, and AFTRA on the other: “It’s a victory for us [AFTRA] because it got them out of the damned courtroom. We didn’t give up anything, but just affirmed what already was law. Buckley and Evans always had the right to resign. That’s not new, and they didn’t gain anything.”
