Awful situation is=always on my mind. And to a much lesser degree, Lawrence too and oth=r cases that I know about. First, on =our suggestion about us, I think it's a good idea -- in fact I had agr=ed to it a long time ago. Valeria is putting together documentation =bout the matter that I can use. Second, the horrirle way you are being treated in the press and public. It's painf=1 to say, but I think the best way to proceed is to ignore it. I've ha= 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 dev=ted to vilifying me. I pay no attention, unless I'm approached for a c=mment on a specific matter. It's a nuisance, but it's the be=t way. The same conclusions from experiences of others, in some case= close friends. What the vultures dearly want is = 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-=azi who wants to kill the Jews, or a rapist, or whatever charge comes alon=?). That's particularly true now with the hysteria that has deveroped about abuse of women, which has reached the point that even questioni=g a charge is a crime worse than murder. For virtually everyone who =ees any of this, the reaction will be "where there's smoke there&=39;s fire, maybe raging fire" (whatever the facts, which few will eve= think of investigating). In general, it's be=t I think not to react unless directly questioned, particularly in the cur=ent mood -- which, I presume, will fade away, even if not in time to preve=t much torture and distress. Hard to say, but it&=39;s the best advice I can think of.
