...insisted on defending irrespective of evidence. He had little tolerance. He had no respect for religion or the values taught by religion. He wouldn't let his wife talk about actual life in Russia. He was nice to Marina so long as she didn't think counter to him. One time I took him to a meeting of the American Civil Liberties Union. It took him by surprise that people could be concerned about the concepts of freedom of speech. He said, 'I couldn't join such an organization. It isn't political...

His critics counter that he got labor cheap and has kept it cheap, that he takes no part in community activities and does not even permit his workers to make payroll contributions to the United Fund-it costs too much time for his clerks to figure out the deductions. Irving has also shown a knack for breaking strikes in the past. But even those who would like to take K. C. Irving down a peg realize that...
