Sherwood Ross is as truth challenged as you are! Nice to know that you laud a fellow liar! Too bad that University of Illinois has not told you to stop using their e-mail address since I am reasonably sure that you know longer teach there or have an office there.

Chicago-born Sherwood Ross grew up in Miami, Fla. His father, an immigrant from Russia, was a wholesale liquor salesman and his mother taught elementary school. Ross attended the University of Miami on a varsity debate team scholarship where he majored in race relations and, during his senior year, earned money writing the weekly "Vagabond" 15-minute poetry show every Friday night on WTVJ-TV. At the same time he worked as a reporter for the Miami Herald and wrote humor for its "Fun in Florida" magazine. His comedy, "The Peacemonger," was produced in the University of Miami student Box Theatre, 1952.
After graduation in 1955 Ross worked as a reporter for the City News Bureau of Chicago and then the Chicago Daily News: as a speechwriter for Mayor Richard J. Daley of Chicago; as PR Director for the Chicago Urban League until promoted to News Director of the National Urban League, in New York. There, he wrote Whitney M. Young's speeches and ghosted Young's column "To Be Equal," that appeared in The New York Telegram & Sun and 50 other newspapers around the country. Ross served as James Meredith's Press Coordinator when he marched into Mississippi in 1966 and got Meredith to the hospital when he was shot. The next day Ross appeared on the Today Show and called for concerned Americans to join him to finish the march. Thousands came, including The Rev. Martin Luther King, who praised Ross in public, "For all the wonderful things you have done for the Negro people." Book on the Meredith March to appear next February, containing information on how to hear all Ross tapes made for WOL of ML King and other leaders on the march.
Ross later wrote 20 skits for "No Shame" theatre in Charlottesville, Va. His short play on Nelson Mandela was produced as "Best of No Shame" at Live Arts Theatre in Charlottesville. Afterwards, in 2004, Live Arts produced Ross's full-length drama "Baron Jiro" about the confrontation of a Japanese business executive with the Army, based on a true event in 1932 involving the president of Matsui Corp. Ross's full-length drama, "Yamamoto's Decision," won honors in two national playwriting competitions, including Theatre Four in Richmond, and was read at the National Press Club, where Ross is a member. The play was about how the Japanese admiral happened to plan and execute the attack on Pearl Harbor. The play also had readings in South Dakota and Montreal. Ross's newest drama, "Kremlin Wife," was read at the Luna Star Cafe, N. Miami, in 2013.
A professional publicist operating from his office in the National Press Building in Washington, for 15 years Ross read the editorial content of national magazines ahead of publication and wrote news releases for the publishers which he distributed personally to hundreds of reporters in Washington, New York, and London, cities where he had offices. His clients included The Atlantic Monthly, The New Yorker, Harper's, Playboy, Penthouse, Psychology Today, Ms., Inc., Ebony, Essence, Harvard Business Review, Business Week, Harvard Magazine, Barron's, and nearly 100 other titles. His work publicizing "The Education of David Stockman" for The Atlantic created a national sensation and boosted sales of the magazine by 100,000 copies. William Dickinson of The Washington Post syndicate called Ross "the best media consultant in the business." Ross publicized every issue of the weekly Business Week for eight years; Psychology Today for 10 years (its circulation grew from 100,000 to 1 million); The Atlantic for 11 years and Harvard Business Review for 14 years. Ross also did the launch publicity for Ms. and Inc., the magazine for growing companies. William Shawn of The New Yorker called his press releases "amazing." Ross has also written a number of magazine articles, contributing to "The Progressive," "Mankind(India)," Ebony,(where he was the first white editor), "The Nation," and "The Humanist."
Ross has also publicized colleges and universities. In addition to Harvard, he has done public relations work for The Johns Hopkins University, Baylor, Colorado State, University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Miami Dade College, Kalamazoo College, and the Massachusetts School of Law at Andover. At MSLAW he also created and edited a special issue of "The Long-Term View" magazine on corrections. And for publishers Addison-Wesley, Ross publicized its book "Take Care of Yourself," which sold two million copies. Ross also was a PR consultant to Union Camp, Union Carbide, Dow-Jones, Arthur Anderson, and Coopers & Lybrand.
Ross is the author of "Gruening of Alaska"(Best Books) about the Senator who led the fight for Alaska statehood. He also contributed speeches to the presidential campaigns of George McGovern and Michael Dukakis. He currently publicizes books and writes widely for the Internet, and does a commentary each month on "The New American Dream" Internet broadcast.
Ross is a comedy songwriter and entertains regularly around Miami. He recorded five songs on Fast Folk Musical Album, since purchased by Smithsonian/Folkways Records and
his songs are being distributed on that label, including the underground hit, "I Sliced Pastrami For The CIA And Found God."
Ross also is a published poet and reads his works regularly at USpeak, sponsored by the University of Miami Department of Creative Writing, and at Books & Books bookstore in Coral Gables, among other places. His poem "Hiroshima," has been widely republished on the Internet. In October, 2013, the Florida State Poet's Assn. awarded Ross first place in the State for his free-verse poem "Bon Voyage."

So who are you going to believe? MIT Molecular Biology Professor Jon King or a well-known pro-US Government List Troll? President George Bush Sr and all Members of the United States Congress or a well-known pro-US Government List Troll?

JONATHAN KING is Professor of Molecular Biology at MIT and an authority on the genes and proteins of micro-organisms. Prof. King was a founder of the Council for Responsible Genetics and former Co-Chair of its Committee on the Military Use of Biological Research.
And of course MIT Molecular Biology Professor Jon King knows nothing at all about biological weapons and biological warfare when he wrote the Introduction to my book. He is almost as dumb about it all as I am. Fab.

"Only hours after sensors in a U.S. Senate office building detected a nerve agent, key Senators suddenly reversed direction and announced a capitulation to the White House's demands on the renewal and expansion of the Patriot Act. "

BIOWARFARE AND TERRORISM
by Francis A. Boyle
Foreword by Jonathan King
This book outlines how and why the United States government initiated, sustained and then dramatically expanded an illegal biological arms buildup. Most significantly, U.S. expert Francis A. Boyle reveals how the new billion-dollar U.S. Chemical and Biological Defense Program has been reorientated to accord with the Neo-Conservative pre-emptive strike agenda--this time by biological and chemical warfare.
[http://www.bookmasters.com/clarity/images/b0027.jpg]Linking U.S. biowarfare development to the October 2001 anthrax attack on Congress--the most significant political attack on the constitutional functioning of democracy in the United States in recent history--Boyle sheds new light on the motives for the attack, the media black hole of silence into which it has fallen, and why the FBI may never apprehend the perpetrators of this seminal crime of the 21st century.
Biowarfare and Terrorism should raise public concern at what the vastly expanded US biowarfare research and purported civilian preparedness programs hold in store for America. Will the American people allow the Bush administration to pursue these programs, despite their incitement to a global biowarfare arms race, and the risk of accidents and reprisals? This book provides a unique tool for understanding the magnitude of the danger, and for countering it.
