...have just been shown Jacob Brackman's "Silhouette" of me in CRIMSON Dec. 14. It is not especially thoughtful of Mr. Brackman to report the carefully considered argument of a person on a sober issue as if he were reviewing the performance of an actor of a stage, and then to say, "Mr. Goodman has chosen to become a personality." I have made no such choice. Supposing Mr. Brackman were wrong in his perception and was projecting a TV-ideology of his own, or perhaps some anxiety that he felt during the evening, would he not, on reflecting, be ashamed...
...namely to teach responsibility by giving freedom in a framework of wise counsel and affectionate support. I then spent one minute on my "alarming frankness," namely, the insoluble problems of being a husband and father without allowing marriage to become an inhibiting jail--(by the way, I wish young Brackman would bring up three good children of his own before lecturing his elders on the responsibilities of fatherhood); and the rough go of being bisexual in our mores.

In a series of tape-recorded meetings, Richter offered Patrolman Brackman $1,000 for himself and $2,000 for the bigwig in the police department who could make the fix. But after several meetings, Brackman finally reported the attempted bribe...
...Orleans' Mayor Morrison, whose police department was under fire, sided with the TP, whacked the Item for its "scheme ... for the obvious purpose of attempting to produce a scandal." But the Item had the last word. The police department fired Patrolman Brackman for failing to make a prompt report of the bribe offer. And last week the bar-brothel where the baby had been found lost its liquor license. Crowed Tommy Stern's Item: "The Picayune complained . . . that the revenue department investigation 'benefited the Item to the exclusion of other media of public expression.' Cleared...
