I have always disregarded the press. I have never been tempted to exercise the right to reply, and even less still would I have wanted to try to take legal action against people who have been defaming me as far back as I can remember. But they had never said before that I had assassinated, or had someone assassinate, a friend. They were wrong to go that far.
