Slept 5 1/2-7 1/2 (41)[M&A].
Slept from about 9 PM.
Note. Frieda's [Frieda Harris] tantrum of Feb 4. I observe that many people of meagre intellect assume that the fact of a man’s ability to prove his words true proves that they are false!!! It runs somewhat thus: since he is able to deceive me if he wishes, he must be deceiving me. He would not have acquired the power unless he needed to abuse it. “The distrust of the expert” is one common form of this stubborn insanity. “The clever man must be wicked”. So, generalizing: any man who tells the truth must be a rascal—a view very widely held. Hence the martyrs.
