- LETTERS, Page 4Abernathy and King
-
- It is discourteous to speak behind someone's back; it is
- cowardly to publish derogatory allegations after that person is
- deceased and unable to defend himself, as Ralph David Abernathy
- has done in his memoir (NATION, Oct. 23). Martin Luther King
- Jr.'s political and social accomplishments will rightfully
- continue to be respected and honored by the world.

- The media seem to feel it is proper to crucify a John Tower
- for womanizing but in poor taste, bordering on discrimination,
- to discuss King's philandering. Isn't it about time that the
- liberal press cut out this double standard?
