Some disinfo in this book re Kurt's death that really bugged me.
-He did not barricade himself in the greenhouse.
-This book follows Courtney's narrative on the Rome incident, which conflict with the doctor's narrative.
-The police opened Kurt's wallet, it wasn't lying that way next to his body.
-The greenhouse door was unlocked.
Good stuff about their life, though. I could prosecute Courtney for three pages on this thread (esp regarding her history of forgery and their pre-nuptial agreement) but won't.
I'm reading ' The Mind Manipulators' by Alan Schefflin:
https://www.amazon.com/Mind-Manipula.../dp/0448229773
It's about the CIA's experiments in mind control, and how its been used in the military, schools, etc. Special focus on various forms of 'behavior modification'.
Alan Scheflin is an attorney now, and he's trying to bring back the concept of 'undue influence'--like you have in contract law--but to use it to defend people for things they've done when indoctrinated, or when 'brainwashed', by a religion for example. Like when they thought they were doing something for bebus.
Prob will be that they still knew it was 'legally wrong', so that may not go swimmingly.
