He was my 3rd cousin. in the mid ’70′s at a wake he asked me what I was doing after being discharged from the Navy. Told him I had re-enrolled at Carolina. His response “guess you’re majoring in the 5 W’s (We Won’t Work Will We). Never got along with him anyway.

I tried looking for videos of Helms’ editorials on Youtube, but found nothing.

The transcripts of Helms’s “Viewpoint” editorials are available for use in the reading room. I’ve spent some time with these over the years, and I don’t recall seeing this comment from Helms. It sounds more likely to have been something said by “Chub” Seawell, the Carthage lawyer who occasionally filled in for Helms on WRAL and was much more colorful in his denunciations. Many of his editorials were also transcribed and are in the same volumes in the NCC. Who wants to dig in and get to the bottom of this?
