Remarks on theoretical problems in nonsymmetric gravitational theory.

Damour, Deser, and McCarthy have claimed that the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) is untenable due to curvature coupled ghost modes and bad asymptotic behavior. This claim is false for it is based on the incorrect assertion that only non-falling-off solutions can be found for the field equations, and that the nonexistence of an exact gauge symmetry for the skew sector leads to a flux of negative energy. We show that the NGT has solutions compatible with physical boundary conditions and that the flux of gravitational radiation in NGT is finite in magnitude and positive in sign
