John Hankey and pals up to old tricks?

[Martin Hay]

I'm not pointing fingers at anyone in particular. It's been a huge problem for 50 years. I get depressed looking through Harold Weisberg's archives and seeing the vast amount of time and energy he spent writing angry letters and manuscripts ranting and raving about other people. Probably contributed to his health problems.

We can disagree with each other without making personal attacks. Personal insults are the last refuge of the lone-nutters, after all.

I too spent a lot of time searching through the Weisberg archives and was shocked at how much energy he wasted on criticizing others. I was most amazed that he wrote a book-length critique of John Newman's "Oswald and the CIA" because he completely misunderstood Newman's position and somehow inferred that Newman was leading up to a book in which he would place the blame for the assassination on Castro!
