He left word with my secretary that it was going to be\nstraighteded out this week. I couldn't get through to you for one reason\nor another. But I despair of you people.\nH: The conclusion we came to at first was that Ellsberg was at the time\nat least of the interview a first-class citizen and deserved his say.\nK: You could have put in a footnote\nH: We wouldn't do that to you.\nK: You didn't even call me.\nH: This was in the context of Ellsberg's version of history. He\ncame across as a nut anyway. The use of you in the ad took advantage of you\nanyway. But you didn't suffer from this.\nK: I've had him on a panel, have consulted with him two or three times.\nWhat more of a hearing can he expect? Now in name of magazine] I'm\nthe\nguy who won't look at the McNamara papers and in\nthis week\nI'm the racist. I am wondering if some of your critics aren't right\nthat you have got a story to seel and no/one can talk you out of it\nH: I was not aware of our saying we would put the records straight.\nK: Elfin left that word here about it.\nH: What Ellsberg said compared to what was printed was as different as\nnight and day. We/ threw out a lot of trash. But we thought it was essential\nto save the context of the relationship between you and Ellsberg.\nYou\nmight have said that thinking that he was talking about something else. skex You\ndidn't know it existed."
