He's in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Los Angeles.  Northern 
California appellate court is deciding now whether he'll have to stand
trial for espionage.  This should be decided within two months.  If he
stands trial he'll probably beat it (IMHO).  Meanwhile, the guy who did
that article is doing a book and has sold the rights to Touchstone
(can you say 'suckers') and a movie budgeted at 30 million dollars is in
the works.  It's safe to say that this will eventually generate even more
press than the MOD/LOD crowd, whose homely faces grace the pages of this
month's WIRED Magazine.

      of his delusions of getting out anytime soon.  And his friend Grant
      may be joining him sooner than he thinks!)
