Newton Ashamed of Rally Against MassNews 
Panelists Still Have Not Aired Video Tape and Refuse to Sell it to Anyone 

Massachusetts News 

August 2--The City of Newton is so ashamed of the rally they held on May 20 against Massachusetts News that they still have not aired the television tape they made and they refuse to sell it to anyone. 

Even though the rally was extensively advertised as an educational event, with school children taking home fliers titled, "How Will the Newton Community Respond to Hate Mail?" the leaders now want to forget the matter. 

Although a tape was made of the entire meeting, only a short, edited version was shown on the city's cable tv station. And even that edited version is not for sale to anyone. 

"They certainly are embarrassed by the meeting and they should be," commented J. Edward Pawlick. 

"Many of the speakers looked foolish and the citizens asked excellent, penetrating questions which the politicians had not expected. It's no wonder that they don't want anyone to see what happened there." 

Pawlick stood unrecognized in the back of the room during the meeting. When asked why he didn't speak, he said, "I couldn't respond to all that inaccurate information in the two minutes they would have given me." 

He said that the low point of the meeting for the liberal establishment was when Evelyn Reilly the head of the Christian Coalition in Massachusetts, questioned the inept psychiatrist, Dr. Kathleen Mogul. Rielly asked Mogul if her statement that only 30% of pedophiles were homosexuals didn't mean that this group of people was ten times more likely to be a pedophile. "The panelists were stunned into total silence when they realized the truth of that statement. No wonder they don't want anyone to see that or other similar blunders," Pawlick said. 

The meeting resulted after Massachusetts News sent a pamphlet written by Pawlick to residents of the city warning them that pedophilia was being normalized with the recent actions of the American Psychological Association and the American Psychiatric Association. 

The meeting was called by the Newton Human Rights Commission and was attended by Mayor David B. Cohen and other politicians. 

Every one of the panelists expressed outrage at the mailing. However, there was no discussion of the contents of the pamphlet. That it was "hate mail" was taken for granted by all of the panelists.
