Last week, sporting a sober tie and conservative suit, Attorney Hallinan took his oath of office and announced his first case: a $2,000,000 libel suit on behalf of his father. The defendant: Cosmetics Manufacturer William P. Patrick, a Republican also-ran in last year's California gubernatorial primary, who allegedly called Vincent Hallinan a "paid propagandist for Fidel Castro." Terence says his father "doesn't mind being called a propagandist for Castro and the Cuban people," is upset only over the word "paid," which implies the crime of failing to register as a foreign agent.
