This isn't a trial. I'm not lying and Chrissie isn't lying. The statements
acquire credibility because of my unchallenged credibility as a writer and
reporter during more than forty years of publication beginning with The New
York Times when I was still in college.

If you are so convinced that this is wrong, I urge you to do your homework
and see if you can find a single published attack on my credibility. It's
not up to me to prove my credibility. It's up to you to disprove it. You
aren't disproving anything. All you are doing is trying to raise doubts that
have yet to receive support from anyone else except Peter Giordano.

>This is especially true when dealing with negative, defamatory reports.

None of this material is negative or defamatory. It's simply human.

>Yr paranoid prosecutor,

You said it. Now go take your case to court or to some publication and stop
making the same boring unsupported theoretical charges over and over again
every time my name is mentioned. We get your message. You think I'm not a
credible source and neither is Chrissie.

Next point?
