Description

WFB starts out by telling us that "Mr. Warren Steibel, the producer of Firing Line, invited not only Miss Hill to appear on this program, but also three of her heartiest advocates ... Everyone invited pleaded conflicting engagements, and so we proceed with Mr. Brock." It would have been a more dramatic show, certainly, if the woman who had accused Clarence Thomas of sexual harassment had taken part; but Mr. Brock is as clear an exponent in person as he is in print, and he reminds us of salient points concerning the Judiciary Committee's hearings on Judge Thomas's nomination to the Supreme Court. DB: "In my view, most of Anita Hill's supporters would find that almost everything they believe about this case and about Anita Hill is actually false.... We can go right to the question of: The men on the Committee just didn't get it. That is provably false, and I lay out the scenario in my book to show that the Committee actually did ... everything that it could have been expected to do to take the charge seriously."
