"What the hell have you done in the last couple of days to get support for the amendment?" Perle shouted then. Gold wrote: "I stood up and said I simply won't take that kind of crap, I had nothing to explain to him, our record was too clear to need any justification. At which point, Perle's superior, Dorothy Fosdick, rose from her chair, and screamed at me: 'Now you just get out of here! Get out! Nobody is going to insult Dick Perle or any member of my staff.' After a minute or so of hesitation, I left, of course. Her parting words were that she'd report me to Scoop."

Jackson's staff wanted the Jewish community behind them, but they didn't want to deal with people like Gold who argued that "flexibility and moderation" might be a better strategy. Now that the initial impetus for the bill—the diploma tax—seemed to be no longer an issue, doubts from certain leaders would grow. And the brashness that everyone had come to associate with Perle would flash often and brightly.
