Well real people are not portrayed TeeVee and in Advertising
or on the local action newz!! Certainly not in Io-way. Clubs
also have moral standards. You may pronounce his name and fawn over his
books but NOT 'utter his true story'. That would violate the decency
clause.

The amazing thing is that he persisted as long as he did. Lesser people
would have gone down years earlier. It makes my copies
of his work the more precious.

Thanks again for an outstanding post!
