I would include IRV KUPCINET in that group, I just don't know Mr. PACKARD and Mr. KIM well enough I'd be glad to include them to, but we might disagree on tactics. But this doesn't mean that there's really a - basic disagreement and I think that the press has wsed you and undoubtedly will continue to " yse you in an effort to drive these wedges and I think your allusion in the picture selection business is impartial of it.
