The Press: Whee, the People!
(2 of 2)
Coulter, 53, a greying Londoner who has a degree in economics from the University of London, an apartment in Manhattan and a country place in New Jersey, allowed that "there are many aspects of American life which are excellent. The Americans' willingness to experiment and change is completely refreshing. Their generosity is fabulous." At his Rockefeller Center office, Coulter confided: "I enjoy living here. It would be a hardship to live anywhere else." Why, then, his disparaging article? "This is rather embarrassing," said he. "The piece was intended for British consumption. People without skills who think of coming to America to find the pot of gold should be discouraged." The U.S., in short, is a nice place to live but no place for People people to visit.
* Questioned by TIME last week, Coulter admitted that the inspector refused a $5 bill, did not report Coulter to the authorities, as he could have, and gave him a license anyway.
