My girlfriend and I both work in Television and she is really good at this kind of thing (gathering information and cold contacting people), but without information to give newspaper writers or producers it's that much harder to be taken seriously. She just found contact info for the guy who wrote the article in 2000 (Ed Leibowitz) on Lexis Nexus and is going to try calling him tomorrow to see if it's the same guy, and if the info is correct, and if he's still writing for the LA Times (a lot of ifs). His linked in says he is so maybe that will be successful, but if there was more information to give it would help. Thanks. Savage, The most recent direct contact for all rings Rufus seemed to be through Fez Moai. He seems to have gone incommunicado lately no doubt because of the treatment he has received because of a few here on TC. Give him a PM. If he does not respond I might have an email for him. Just let me know.

Savage,
