[Peace-discuss] co-sponsorship troubles

[Jim Buell]

I did a little Google searching of my own and came up with the article(s) 
you evidently saw, Ricky. Stan Brin, a reporter with the Orange County 
(Calif) Weekly - judging from its website an L.A.-area free paper along the 
lines of our late Cityview - had a series of anti-Baker stories last 
spring. The links (along with a few other stories by the same author) can 
be found at: 
http://www.ocweekly.com/searchlily.php?searchfor=stan+brin&searchin=all . 
As the articles indicate, Brin seems to have been gotten most of his 
information from the Anti-Defamation League. Large chunks of text are 
identical in each of the articles, with different leads. Evidently the 
articles had the effect of getting Baker booted from a position with 
televangelist Robert Schuller.

Article titles include:
