Dr. Wurster:
<<Wurster's remark is at best museum grade; at worst it's a fib. Nichols' didn't bother to reveal the quote's age, but it's been swirling around since before the Beatles' breakup. Materials later e-mailed to TomPaine.com by Nichols Dezenhall staff showed that.

But the date doesn't matter: Environmental Defense says that the remark "has absolutely nothing to do with any position that we ever held, it's a complete and utter fabrication." Dr. Wurster, the alleged orator, is now retired. Reached at his home in Long Island, he says "Not only did I never say it, I never thought it." The quote "pops up at least once a year. It has a life of its own." He says a disgruntled lawyer fabricated it in the late 1960s to explain why he left the Environmental Defense Fund after the group fired him. Since then, it has become a popular right-wing canard. >>
