Hello Mindscape - The first I heard of Lazar was when George Knapp interviewed him years ago - (you gave a good summary of the man). For years I tried to think of all kinds of reasons he might be legitimate and at this point in time, I simply do not feel strongly negative or positive. There certainly seems to be enough so called "evidence" to discredit him, but as we all know that too can be manipulated. His involvement with illegal drugs and prostitution troubles me, but yet again it is in the realm of possibility that Lazar needed to be discredited to protect something. Curious - do you have an opinion? ..............................Zidor
