In a face-to-face meeting, he shook hands with Eddie McCormack and apologized publicly for past disputes. "It was really undesirable and uncharitable of me," he said in his courtroom. In Washington, John McCormack declared that the war was over-at least until Charles Wyzanski kicks up another controversy...
