please send this message out widely ideally to div 1 and 2.1. Carlo Prescott did not write any of the negative things about the SPE attributed to him. It was written in his name by a vengeful screenwriterwhose screenplay of SPE was rejected.2.Prescott has never used email, has no account in his name, has no computer.3. He was not featured in HBE only because he is so loquacious that he cannot give sound bites, talks stream of consciousness, often brilliant,butwithout periods. He has not appeared in any of the many earlier tv stories about SPE for the same reason, and no other4. we remain friends and talked just yesterday by phone.5. a new Holly wood movie is about to be made by Maverick productions, that will give Carlo a featured character playing him.6. My new book which will be published by Random House March 13,2007, has 9 full chapters on the SPE and for the first time will present every detail of the studyTHE LUCIFER EFFECT: UNDERSTANDING HOW GOOD PEOPLE TURN EVIL.7. It will be an important book for psychology, I am hoping that my worst critics don't turn out to be fellow psychologists, as usually happens in our excessively critical field.I hope this clarifies the situation and lays to rest some of these rumors.
Cordially,
