...article further implies the Muslims' role in the scare in the paragraph concerning the CRIMSON's query to Lincoln as to whether he had received any "direct threats" from the Muslims, the word "direct" being the CRIMSON's. Lincoln's negative answer is followed by the assertion that "the Muslims did, however, have a 'steadily growing temple'" in Boston. The word "however" is again the CRIMSON's, leading us to assume that Lincoln's statement was taken out of context to give the impression that the growing temple was responsible for the bomb threat...

Brant can still whack out a crackling paragraph in the style of his old newspaper days.

Boswell sums up the remaining objections in the fourth paragraph of his own Life. He charges Hawkins with solemnity and digressiveness (true), inaccuracy (partly true...
Your front page story of October 5th dealing with my alleged views about disarmament reached a new low of irresponsibility and misrepresentation. The headline, "Kissinger Cautions Disarmament Might Lead to U.S.S.R. Victory" is a falsehood. The quotation in the first paragraph is incorrect.

We have to make the most serious efforts to develop responsible disarmament plans. However, if it is not possible to reach...
