John A. Cloud's column "That's Outrageous" (September 26) egregiously misrepresented my actions and motives in joining with numerous leaders and workers--at Harvard, in Boston, and in New York--to protest against the appointment of James Hoge by the Institute of Politics...
...James F. Hoge did some despicable things as publisher of the strike-ridden work for compromise. He stationed guards in the newsroom. It's said that he even brought in some guard dogs to keep Daily News employees away from the printing presses. Pretty fascist for a newspaper publisher...
