assistant: Dear Danny,
I find the following information to be very interesting (especially
because I am mentioned toward the end). It goes hand in hand with what
was written by my wife about the text of history books being influenced
by the philosophical "bent" of the writer. What makes it through the
editor and finally on the page of the book reflects something of the
point of view of the author, editor and publisher (or their loved ones).
In short, "if I agree with it I will print it, encourage it, buy it, or
recomend it. Opinions I don't like, I will squelch"
Yes, Mrs. Todd, there are other Gods. Choose wisely!
