爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Howard had convinced a number of editors of the justice of his position, and so he secured a wide publication for his attack. For the second time, Edward Bok was under fire, and remembering his action on the previous occasion, he again remained silent, and again the argument was put forth that his silence implied guilt. But Mrs. Beecher and members of the Beecher family did not observe silence, and quickly proved that not only had Bok compiled the memorial as a labor of love and had lost money on it, but that he had the full consent of the family in its preparation.

白话
面对攻击，沉默有时会被当成认罪，但真相和盟友的声援才是关键。爱德华·博克曾因编纪念册被霍华德指责，霍华德说服多位编辑，让攻击广泛传播。博克记得上次的经验，再次选择沉默，于是又有人议论他默认有罪。但比彻夫人和比彻家族成员没有沉默，他们很快证明：博克编纪念册是出于敬爱，还为此赔了钱，而且准备工作得到了家族完全同意。这说明，被冤枉时，自己不出面，让受益者或相关方站出来说话，往往比亲自辩解更有力。
