It was reported that in the 1978 incident, Warren Peterson (Pederson?) walked in on PL in "the office" and reported what he saw to Max. Warren was understandably distraught and Max appropriately went to WLee and confronted him. I don't know where Warren is today, but Max died a few years ago.
Whatever Max's faults were, he was right to confront Lee about what PL had done. It should be noted that no one has ever denied that Philip was caught in the act. From the article, it's apparent that Philip's attitude was "so what?"
