“Honesty was not high on the CPI’s agenda. One of its architects, the journalist Arthur Bullard, had written, with revealing candor, “Truth and Falsehood are arbitrary terms. . . . There is nothing in experience to tell us that one is always preferable to the other. . . . The force of an idea lies in its inspirational value. It matters very little whether it is true or false.”
