Even those who disagree philosophically with Ford admitted that he had done a masterly job of presenting his case.

Breslin will be followed next month by Sportscaster Dick Schaap, and in the fall by Writer Nora Ephron and New Journalist Tom Wolfe. Most of those celebrities were attracted not so much by the money ($500 a week) as by their long friendship with former...
