We report on the measurement of angular coefficients and the forward and backward asymmetry (A{sub fb}) of Drell-Yan dielectron pairs from p{bar p} collisions at {radical}s = 1.96 TeV. The angular distributions are studied as a function of the transverse momentum of dielectron pair and A{sub fb} is measured using the event counting method. The Lam-Tung (A{sub 0} - A{sub 2} = 0) relation which is only valid for a spin-1 description of the gluon is also tested.
