...shall know the truth" is the pious text to which Real Truth magazine cynically subscribes in its impious operations, "and the truth shall make you free." The kind of truth that Real Truth publishes has made its publisher (Steve Cochran) free of financial worries. Once a nickel-and-dime pressagent for a string of strippers, he can now afford to have the Rolls brought round to a Park Avenue address.

An affable, storytelling Irishman, Brennan has been called jaunty, dapper, lacking the austere aspect commonly associated with Justices. A much-sought after-dinner speaker, he also plays duffer golf (low 100s), likes to read American history, Plato, dime novels. Said his happy wife this week: "On Friday afternoon my husband called me from the office and said there was a telegram from the Attorney General.
