The best way to make a correct judgment about the character of someone is to backtrack his or her history. This procedure is valid in assessing the character and honesty of Enid Greene Waldholtz - her character and honesty needs no doctoring to make it shine.
On Nov. 21, the Deseret News finally began to tone down its vicious attack on Enid as a wicked, plotting woman and pointed its finger at her husband, Joe, where the blame will no doubt lie. If the plot Joe Waldholtz fabricated stands the test of responsible investigation, the public should have empathy and not make worse Enid's broken heart. Apparently she was taken in by a master scam artist with whom she had the misfortune of falling in love.Most wives never ask their husbands for an appraisal, monthly audit or an annual statement. These matters are taken for granted in a family where trust is the basis of a relationship. If the incredible story Joe Waldholtz told of his wealthy parents/-man-sion/
ser-vants, etc., proves to be a lie, he was indeed superb at his deceptions.
It is truly a tragedy for Enid to now have to deal with the undeserved problems of a broken home and a new child sans the nurturing of an honorable father. And adding to that personal crisis is the hateful diatribe to defame her brought about by a presumptuous press who use innuendo, assumptions and unfounded accusations of guilt by "unnamed Washington sources."
Question: Why are all the local media circling like vultures over this story? Answer: Perhaps the political ramifications of the Democrats thirsting for her congressional seat in '96. And we now know, with few exceptions, the Democratic Party is where the heart of Utah's media beats.
