7. Writing and Publicizing this book is strange. Harper Collins ($1 million advance) is Murdoch.
Personal comments on Anita Hill are in extreme poor taste-attacking her integrity re religion, her job performance, and claiming that he was essential to her being able to get a job.

My recollection of the Clarence Thomas nomination is that Anita Hill gave confidential testimony about her workexperience with Thomas to FBI when she was asked to. She seems to have done what she believed to be her civic duty, expecting her statements were in confidence. Her expectation of confidentiality was betrayed and thereup she became a public figure, was called upon to testify publicly in the Senate and did so.


There are a few interesting possibilities. Murdoch has bought a supreme court justice and/or Clarence Thomas is smarting for money and/or Thomas is psychologically about to self-destruct.

In terms of experience to be appointed to the Supreme Court Thomas had an incredibly thin resume. He is an example of G H W Bush's sticking it to the people by trivializing the court. I have often wondered if Bush didn't make it clear to thomas on how he was supposed to vote in the Bush family interest and against the people----which he certainly did in Election 2000.

Hope grounds for impeachment come up for Thomas, Scalia, Roberts, and Alito.
