Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following The San Francisco Examiner<\/em>\u2019s publication of a series of articles<\/a> by Lester Kinsolving critical of Peoples Temple in September 1972, Jim Jones and members of the church went on the offensive to counteract the negative publicity. This tape includes two broadcasts of an interview \u2013 aired on the morning and evening newscasts \u2013\u00a0that Jones gave to a local station in which he defended the Temple and called for dialogue with anyone who might have problems with the church. He also cast the attacks against the Temple as attacks on freedom of religion and lawful assembly.<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note:<\/em> Side 2 of this tape \u2013 which consists of the evening\u2019s rebroadcast of the interview, has much better audio than side 1. It does, however, abruptly end about a minute before the conclusion of the morning\u2019s version of the interview.<\/p>\n
