"That case, some nine years later, still stands as one of the most egregious abuses of the legal system and the media – and one of the shiniest examples of executive cowardice on the part of university officials – in modern American history. But to date, some involved with it have still managed to skate by without being held accountable." ---SCOTT MCKAY
BRODHEAD SMEARED ME IN THE NEW YORK TIMES IN JUNE 2002--DECLARING THAT I WAS AN UNRELIABLE BIOGRAPHER BECAUSE ONLY I IN MY "BLACK HOLE" HAD EVER HEARD ABOUT MELVILLE FINISHING A BOOK CALLED "POEMS" IN 1860. IN FACT, WE HAD KNOWN A GREAT DEAL ABOUT THE BOOK SINCE 1922, THE YEAR AFTER THE FIRST FULL BIOGRAPHY OF MELVILLE WAS PUBLISHED. EVERY SCHOLAR KNEW ABOUT IT, THOUGH WE DID NOT KNOW THE SPECIFIC CONTENTS. THEN ANDREW DELBANCO TOOK BRODHEAD'S SMEAR AND RAN AWAY WITH IT IN THE "NEW REPUBLIC," DECLARING THAT I WAS NOT TO BE TRUSTED ANYWHERE.
THEN IN 2013 THE "CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCATION" THREW A FALSE PARAGRAPH INTO A PIECE ON MY "MELVILLE BIOGRAPHY: AN INSIDE NARRATIVE"--AN OUTRIGHT FALSE ACCOUNT OF WHAT I HAD SAID ABOUT THE FALSE ACCUSATIONS FROM BRODHEAD AND DELBANCO. THE "CHRONICLE OF HIGHER EDUCTION" WENT OUT OF THE WAY TO PROTECT BRODHEAD AND DELBANCO FROM THE TRUTH.
I WAS RETIRED ALREADY IN 2002 SO I HAD NO JOB TO LOSE--ONLY REPUTATION, ONLY MY GOOD NAME.
YOU SEE HOW I IDENTIFY WITH PRESSLER AND ALL THE FALSELY ACCUSED YOUNG MEN WE NOW KNOW ABOUT. YOU SEE WHY I KEEP SAYING THAT FALSE ACCUSERS SHOULD BE PUNISHED.
