Jim, that article is so much more balanced than the 'praise' that Richard gets from his disiples. Plus, it isn't a flame. If you actually read it, it is one of the few writings about Bandler that actually presents him as a human being.  Sure, as all descriptions go, it isn't the whole, but it sure isn't a flame.  The fact that it is centered around a murder trial is intense, and the fact that Richard's shadow is reavealed to a certain degree is unpleasent, but the article in no way says that Richard did the murder. It is actually much harsher on the version presented by the other man.  However, it doesn't take a genius to look at that information and conclude that there is certainly the possibilitiy that Richard Bandler killed a woman. I hate to say it, but that isn't the most important thing I took from the article.  The article contains a description of his loneliness that helped me gain a richer sense of his actions.  Is there a reason why we aren't suppose to trust Lesley Cameron Bandler at all?  Tom
