D. Hymes; Leach was scathing about the book and about BS’s contribution to it; quotes what BS wrote about him; the key assertion being that MG spoke of himself as working for His Majesty’s Government in Northern Rhodesia; he could not have made this statement because he was never a member of the Government; he worked for the Rhodes-Livingstone Institute; nothing written by the staff was subject to Government approval; BS also fabricated a statement that anthropologists had a role in sustaining or formulating British colonial policy; describes an occasion when BS was in Manchester; he has a dim memory of a remark by MG about being in ‘His Majesty’s service’ as a private in the Northern Rhodesia Defence Force during the war. 2 leaves (tp.)

/847 B[…?] […?], Yale Law School, to ibid., 4 Nov. 1974 – will scrawl a ‘horseback’ opinion on his case; he has as uncertain a case as it is possible to have; under ordinary libel law he would have a good case; but the law of libel has been transformed in recent years; it is almost impossible for any public figure to win a libel case; malice must be proved; defamation is a ‘boomerang’ kind of action; asks him how mad he is and how much he wants to set the record straight; on Charles, who is in hospital. 4 pages (autogr.)
