Good for Mr. Boone to meet Mr. Moon

From the archives: audio of recording artist Pat Boone emceeing an event (in the mid-1990s) in which the Reverend Moon muses on the nature of true love.

Featured is Moon's longtime loyal aide Col. Bo Hi Pak. He's been in prison in Korea now for some time over a real estate controversy involving a Nigerian scam artist and Pak's own money troubles. A Web site is soliciting donations for his defense. It's unclear why Pak, one of the Reverend's most important and impassioned allies for decades, is short of financial aid.

"John Gorenfeld: The first man on the Moon"
-- Ana Marie Cox ("Wonkette," Time.com Washington editor)

"Thanks to the superb reporting of John Gorenfeld on Salon.com and his indispensable Web page, Moon's shenanigans are routinely scrutinized. Maybe some of Gorenfeld's discernment will rub off on preachers and politicians."
-- Tony Norman, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette columnist

"The scene summoned the moment in Robert Graves's "I, Claudius" when Emperor Caligula declares himself a god in the Roman Senate; a fawning solon instantly offers a prayer."

-- Moon spokesman the Rev. Phil Schanker

"Instead of welcoming Reverend Moon, this government put me into prison. History will reveal the truth in the future and the American government and people will realize what an evil thing they did. What will they do then? They will bow down. Again, that is the way of natural subjugation." -- Moon in 1987

"A political movement basing its appeal on old fashioned patriotism and family values simply cannot justify an alliance with a cult that preys on the disintegration of the American family and advocates allegiance to an international social order operating with cell-like secrecy."
-- Rep. Jim Leach (R-IA)
