GLIKES HAS been singing a different tune lately. He plays down the personal intensity of his editorial relationship with Kearns and when asked questions about it, he pauses signally, then, in a subdued and condescending voice, says, "Are you still writing that kind of stuff?" Glikes says that Kearns has launched a "vicious whispering campaign," a "desperate and dispicable attempt to justify something that cannot be justified."
