Subject: Halperin/Dallas Publicity

Did anyone catch the segment last night (Tues May 1) on Dallas' Fox 
news?  I was out of town and missed it, but I got reports that it was 
almost neutral on the subject.  Had actual shots from Alcor, with 
interviews, and did some background on James.  Sounds like a pretty long 
segment for the evening news.  I wish I would have known about it, then we 
might have come up with some data, like how many people in Dallas are into 
this, as I heard the segment was slanted such that no one knows about this, 
and poor James is the single bonehead willing to part with 50-120k for this 
stunt.

Of course you guys might have debated this ad infinitum previously, and I 
just missed it.

Anyway, I don't know if James subs to this, but I appreciate the positive 
publicity (he even showed em his necklace, when asked "how will people know 
what to do" so maybe someone will have remembered that if we go).

The other comments I got back on Alcor's side is that they were a little 
morbid (?), matter-of-fact about death (of course they were) but it was 
"neat" how the referred to the legally-dead as still in the present.  I 
understand even some heads were shown, in addition to a few of the tools used.
