Thanks for the links. It clarified my mistaken belief that McCain has cow towed to the Pres et al. on the issue of torture. At least I can rest assured that he's held the line that torture is wrong.
And what's wild is I remember first hearing about the P&G rumor when I was four, at most five years old. I remember being at our neighbors' house and that couple, with whom my parents were good friends, showing my parents this mimeographed sheet with all the vague info, including how to connect the stars to make "666".
In retrospect, I realize now that the response of my parents was the vaguest of vague polite noises one makes when you think an idea is crazy talk, but when you're polite midwesterners you don't tell your friends they are crazy. But at the time, I was observing this and thinking as a four year old will that if C & M said it, it must be true.
And in retrospect of this article, it's like having another piece fall in place, because I have a strong feeling that they were selling Amway, though I don't remember that element of specifically. I doubt C & M knew it was a lie, but I'm guessing they were overly willing to believe it because it proved their company was good.
I also remember it coming up when I was in high school and/or college and thinking "Hey, I remember this from when I was four, the CEO couldn't have told this to Oprah, or even Donahue."
