In raising objection to the book,
Board Vice Chairman 'John
Broadfoot said that it presented a,
very biased view of the case and
indicated that the book' reflected -
unfavorably upon certain
members of the hoard. He also
char-ged that it was of no
educational merit:
Mr. Broadfoot said, "Since I
am the only tnerl]berA of .the board
who has read 'the book I might
point out that some ofihe people in

Following the ' :committee
