Knowing the players and their backgrounds, I believe George's account.

"If true" Paul? It seems pretty clear, unless you think this may not be the version the editors killed. What journalistic reason could there be? It's a solid story, with quotes from all sides. Try to think of another reason besides advertiser protection that could cause the story to be killed. “That the management would suppress a column for this reason is, if true, abominable.”
