The three atheist leaders disappeared on 4th September 1995 and have never been seen again by their friends and colleagues. For five and a half years there have been various rumors, some of them absurd and obviously invented to make the victims appear to be the villains. Only in March 2001, their remains have been identified and their death was finally confirmed. They had been murdered in September 1995 itself, after short captivity. Their murderer and two others involved in the crime have been convicted, but the circumstances of their end remain mysterious.

There are two huge white boxes in one of the bookshelves in my studio. They contain letters from Madalyn Murray O' Hair. Most of these several hundred letters she wrote in the late seventies and early eighties to me and to my father.

Our answers were little less in number, because at those times a daily airmail letter from India to USA would eat up quite a lot of money.
