...attack on an article by Evan W. Thomas published May 7, Pasztor substantially misrepresents what was reported. Thomas's article states that Pasztor had filed charges with Dean Dunlop against a University professor whom he would not name. Thomas reported this because Pasztor told him he had done so in a telephone interview on the afternoon of May 5. Pasztor now claims that we reported that he had charged a certain professor. We did not, and he knows it. Pasztor now states that he was not the complainant. But we did not report that he was a complainant against...
...PASZTOR'S attacks on Jeff Magalif's coverage of the CRR are equally unwarranted. His opinion is not shared by two graduate students who have prosecuted students charged by SJP-who have told Magalif that they thought the coverage was fair. In response to the only specific charge which Pasztor makes, Magalif states that he reported on the testimony that personal animosity existed between Pasztor and the defendant because a witness gave such testimony. He did not report that there was "lengthy film evidence which conclusively showed the defendant disrupting" because the film evidence did not show it. Again...
...Pasztor's grandiose statement that he will no longer give news stories to certain reporters is an attempt to dictate our coverage. We reject it. We will continue to assign reporters to stories as we see fit, not according to Pasztor's whims...
Lastly, we are alarmed by the totalitarian tone of Pasztor's letter. Pasztor was angered by Caploe's reporting of the facts. He was further angered by the use of a standard reporting ploy to gain more information than he chose to give us. He claims to have issued us a "warning." We never received his "warning," and we dismiss it. We believe in our reporting, and no self-appointed censor will intimidate us into altering it. SJP has raised the issue of free speech in defense of some dubious propositions; one of them is that a newspaper is attacking...
...groups about whom we write, fair and complete coverage. We may succeed more at some times than at others; no newspaper can claim total objectivity. On the whole, we are proud of our coverage of SJP, and we do not propose to suffer silently a pompous lecture by Pasztor. SJP is the group which requested that Students for a Democratic Society, the Progressive Labor Party, and the Radcliffe-Harvard Liberation Alliance be banned from using University facilities because of the role played by some of their members in the disruption of the Teach-in. It is inconceivable to us that...
