It's being covered on CBS Morning News right now.

Interesting. They show an interview of her saying the reason she came forward publicly (and in the courts) about her being the real artist (not her husband, who had taken credit) is because jws never lie.

Seems like a nice lady. Too bad she got duped 2 times (once by her husband) and then by the JW's.

I find it funny that my UberDub mother bought some of her pics when I was kid in the 60's and hung them up in my room, and she didn't even know at the time that she was a JW.

Her experience was in the one of the rags in the late 60's or early 70's
