The interview is reprinted in The Playboy Intervew (Wideview Books, c1981).

Here is the text of one answer about the Indians:

"I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that's what you're asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves." -p.269
