New York, July 23 (LNS)—Former Supreme Court Justice and UN lackey Arthur Goldberg will defend Rev. William Sloane Coffin in the upcoming appeal of his two-year draft conspiracy conviction. Radio Station WBAI said that Goldberg left them with the impression that he would soon issue a statement on why he left the UN and why he decided to take up Coffin’s defense.

The establishment press, most notably the New York Times which literally thrives on Supreme Court Justices, has treated Goldberg’s decision with haughty silence. Perhaps they are embarrassed.
