I don't have an opinion on that, and I would like to have the
op****tunity to form one. The best way to judge would be to hear the
"official" version, the testimony of witnesses, and the widely known
Miles Davis version. Then we could make up our owns minds about a
plausible "truth", which would likely be a sort of statistical
"average" of the three. Unfortunately, as far as I know, only the
Miles version has been made public.

Nothing there about the Miles Davis case. But I've been reading
Hentoff for thirty-five or forty years and know his predilections.
Odd, isn't it, that only one version of those events (with its many
confused variants) has ever been published?
