Inspiring thoughts, Kathy, but not always practical. A man was credited
with possibly saving President Ford's life by jostling Squeaky Fromm who was
trying to shoot Ford. Reporters discovered he was a homosexual. It came as
a shock to his family - not to mention friends, neighbors and employer. It
tore his life apart.
The use of such information (rumormongers are not always terribly
conscientious about spreading totally false rumors as people like Tom Foley
and Barry Goldwater could tell you) can be devastating to lives. It is like
the businesses that used to have rumormongers on their staff to let it be
known a guy with leprosy was processing the food a competitor was selling.
Best, Terry
