Trouble was, his record of past convictions (theft, attempted forgery) came to light, and the elder William Randolph Hearst fired him in 1949.

They decided that rather than making any public pronouncement about the Department they would write memoranda which they would submit to the Committee and then circulate as widely as possible. By circulating these memoranda, Kilson feels he can take away the base of Guinier's support on the Faculty--white liberal members...
