Today I received in the mail a quick note from Ron. With it, he included a copy of Ms. Audrey Ingber's review. After reading her statement, "Never overstating his movements, Stulberg achieved what he wanted by subtle proddings of the baton," I felt compelled to speak out against Ingber's editorial...

I'm afraid these opinions rather garbled the account of what the survey findings were and what I think they mean...
...Ms. Fallaci did tell me, when I interviewed her for the New York Times in January 1973, that she had had three miscarriages, and indeed, she asked me not to print that fact. I told her at the time that it was impossible because her miscarriages were public knowledge, as she had discussed them in an article about her in LIFE...
