“all the spontaneity of the huck

“To our knowledge not one of
our statements has been chall
enged for accuracy in spite of
the fact that the President, in
several speeches, acknowledged
that he was aware our team was
dogging bis footsteps,” they said.
The Republicans did concede
i that the President “told one de

Mr. West, “that a large number of
