if I had my way, I would send them to public school, but it's my wife.” Margo Hentoff is a very strong woman who writes very well. So he'll blame it on his wife and he says, “That doesn't mean that I still can't say all these things about how we ought to do all these things in the public school,” when again his kids are in private school, in Dalton.

Just to digress for a minute on a Nat Hentoff story. During Forest Hills he attacked me unmercifully. Of course, he lives in Butterfield House, a wonderful little co-op on 12th Street, 37 West 12th Street, lovely. He has a home in Connecticut -- I think Westport -- and spends his summers at Fire Island at a nice place. But he's very big on low-income housing projects in middle class areas.

Anyway I'm at a Planning Board meeting... And he likes me -- it's sort of a love-hate relationship. He likes me and he sees me. He's with Margot Hentoff, his wife. We were right in the heart of that imbroglio at that time. He walks over to me and he says, “Ed, I'm really surprised at you. You're wrong.” This is referring to Forest Hills. And Margot, his wife, says, “Ed, don't listen to him. He's crazy.” (laughs)

I wanted to ask you a footnote question here on the Supreme Court decisions of 1954. I just read this news account/that apparently a new book has brought out that Justice Jackson had wanted to write another opinion not because he disagreed with that decision but that he disagreed with the method by which the decision was reached. Did you by any chance see that item?
