The "New York Times Company" is still run
like a shoe store by the family which bought the newspaper in 1896.
The four oldest family-members, "Punch" Sulzberger and
his three sisters, continue to own virtually all the voting stock
and control the entire worldwide conglomerate. The "young"
51-year-old Chairman, "Pinch," is given an allowance of
over $6 million a year, but he owns only a pittance of stock (27,279
shares) as compared to his father (4.1 million shares) and his three
aunts.
The plot thickens when one realizes that the Chief
Justice of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Margaret Marshall,
who held the country in suspense as she decided the marriage issue
in that state, is also deeply entwined with this clique.
How much pressure was exerted on federal Judge Patti
Saris (a former employee of Senator Kennedy) to contain this scandal
about homosexuals? She immediately dismissed the case, knowing that
no one would ever discover what happened in this obscure courtroom
on Boston Harbor - UNLESS - someone wrote a book.
The reason the two top editors at the "New York
Times" were fired in 2003 was because they allowed a young
black reporter, Jayson Blair, to make fools of them and Pinch with
fabricated news stories.
Pinch has a consuming desire to increase the number
of "minorities" at the "Times". His definition
of the word "minority" includes everyone except males
whose ancestors came from Europe. The Pinch Sulzberger world is
one in which people are judged by their skin color, racial ethnicity
and sex. No longer is "merit" to be the standard because
that is too subjective to be reliable, he would say.
The four publishers before him (his great grandfather,
who bought the paper in 1896, his grandfather, uncle and father)
are now known around the newsroom as "homophobes."
Pinch became distressed in 2002 when a proposed referendum
to the state Constitution in Massachusetts threatened his plans
to impose gay marriage across the entire country. As a result, both
his papers, the "Times" and the "Boston Globe",
viciously attacked, in a long campaign of libel and cover-up, the
citizen-supporters of the Amendment with false charges of criminal
fraud.
Pinch's only problem was that the founder-president
of the organization which sponsored the Amendment, Sarah McVay Pawlick,
is married to a well-respected, prominent lawyer/publisher in Massachusetts
who was watching closely. He is Attorney J. Edward Pawlick, the
author of this book.
Atty. Pawlick was friends with homosexuals in his
college days at Williams College and he employed them in responsible
positions at the newspaper group he founded. His children are equal
parts Italian, Jewish, German, Irish and Belgian. Three of his nine
grandchildren are one-half black. He says this is the recipe for
the perfect American unless the race-baiters like Pinch Sulzberger
have their way.
Pawlick's previous book, "Freedom Will Conquer
Racism and Sexism, The Civil Rights Act is Damaging Everyone in
America, Especially Blacks and Women", revealed how the Act
has damaged many young blacks as it has Jayson Blair.
Now it's your turn to judge this case, this judge
and the "New York Times".
About the Author J. Edward Pawlick founded "Lawyers
Weekly Publications" in 1972, after he had practiced
law for 12 years.When he sold his
company in 1997, he was publishing newspapers in seven states
and advising 150,000 lawyers about opinions from their state
courts and laws from their legislatures.
He also published a national newspaper for lawyers which reported
on the legislation and opinions from Congress and the federal
courts. When the national newspaper was started in 1993, both
the "New York Times" and the "Wall Street Journal"
wrote feature stories about it. Stories from his publications
appeared on the front page of "USA Today", as well
as on "ABC World News Tonight" and "Good Morning
America".
Sally Pawlick is a 1957 graduate of Wellesley
College, the mother of three and the grandmother of four.
