I wasn’t aware that Clarence Thomas had done enough — aside from vote — on the Supreme Court to make a memoir worthwhile, but certainly the focus of attention on his new book (and adjoining 60 Minutes interview) is centered on the confirmation hearing confrontation between himself and Anita Hill, who accused him of lurid and improper behavior while she was working for him.
Now, since Thomas has dragged back out all the counter-accusations at his accuser, Prof. Hill responds. And while there’s a degree of he-said-she-said to it all, I certainly find the tone of her statements to be calm, measured, and, frankly, convincing.
