Have been thinking about your letter ever since I received it this morning -- in fact, long before. Awful
situation is always on my mind. And to a much lesser degree, Lawrence too and other cases that I know about.
First, on your suggestion about us, I think it's a good idea -- in fact I had agreed to it a long time ago. Valeria
is putting together documentation about the matter that I can use.
Second, the horrible way you are being treated in the press and public. It's painful to say, but I think the best
way to proceed is to ignore it. I've had plenty of experience, though of course not on this scale. A google
search will bring up tons of hysterical accusations of all sorts, even groups devoted to vilifying me. I pay no
attention, unless I'm approached for a comment on a specific matter. It's a nuisance, but it's the best way. The
same conclusions from experiences of others, in some cases close friends.
What the vultures dearly want is a public response, which then provides a public opening for an onslaught of
venomous attacks, many from just publicity seekers or cranks of all sorts -- which are impossible to answer
(how do you prove that you are not a neo-Nazi who wants to kill the Jews, or a rapist, or whatever charge
comes along?). That's particularly true now with the hysteria that has developed about abuse of women, which
has reached the point that even questioning a charge is a crime worse than murder. For virtually everyone who
sees any of this, the reaction will be "where there's smoke there's fire, maybe raging fire" (whatever the facts,
which few will even think of investigating).
In general, it's best I think not to react unless directly questioned, particularly in the current mood -- which, I
presume, will fade away, even if not in time to prevent much torture and distress.
Hard to say, but it's the best advice I can think of.
Noam

Noam. I d love your advice on how I handle my putrid press. its is spiraling out of control . do I have
someone write an oped. ? defend myself . or try to ignore. realizing that mobs are dangerous. !
On your situation. it breaks my heart. .! I thought of a work around. . you can do a video , doctor or
lawyer by your side. . stating that you are fully competent. intend to leave your estate to valeria. minus,
some ip. ( not sure you should leave them any of it now ). so in the future if they decide to make a claim
against valeria the video and potentailly affadavits from doctors lawyers that you are of sound mind and are
making the video to protect valeria against arizona laws being used against her by your children, you can
also write and have notarized a declaration that you are appalled by the idea of the children bringing a suit
against a person that you have loved dearly and who doesnt deserve to have to deal with such horribe
allgegations.
