Nice piece, Tony. I tip my hat to Joel and Bob. Their great series was such an extraordinary public service, and they paid dearly for it when the church struck back. I can appreciate Joel's mixed feelings after his visit to Texas. I had a similar reaction after a few conversations with Marty and Mike Rinder during the past few years. While I applaud them for leaving the church, and for having the courage of denouncing and regretting what they did in its name, I also came away with a sense that they weren't as forthcoming with me about the details -- as perhaps they could have been. Marty told me that -- between the church's lawyers and private eyes -- they spent an estimated $25 million against me and Time magazine in the 1990s. (That's about $35-40 million in today's money.) Exactly WHAT that loot purchased is something I'd like to know someday.
