Washington Post, December 5, 1978
From the article:
It is just one excitement after another for Mark Lane. Only a few days before he went to Guyana, Lane was castigated by one of his former supporters, the Rev. Walter Fauntroy, D.C.'s delegate in Congress, as "a man who thrives on publicity -- good or bad."
Though Lane was instrumental in getting Congress to investigate the murders of Kennedy and King, he wound up stinking up the hearings. He produced his client, James Earl Ray, to tell a yarn which should have won him the permanent championship of the Liar's Club. Ultimately, Lane stormed out of the hearing room when asked to testify about a former mental patient whom he claimed was locked up for 10 years to keep her quiet.
