Hi George,

Dan is quoted in Cade's article: "I don't want to be portrayed as being
on Bagley's side. I'm just in favor of being fair and balanced with
everybody," Tobias says. "I very strongly dislike censorship and any
attempt to control what people can say and what they can read."

I found this too:

That's what you meant about Mr Bagley, I suppose.

Thanks
