	Did YOU read it?

	I'd like to see documentation on that. I'd like to see documentation
that Interpol ever tried to prove ANYTHING; Interpol is a central
information office for police, so that police of many countries can
coordinate their information with each other, NOT an investigative body
(except in action/adventure stories).

	Israel Regardie was well-thought of by so many people (generally
considered to be the Colonel Pickering to Crowley's Henry Higgins) that
I find it hard to believe that you know anything more than rumor.

	Well, even Crowley warned people not to believe things just because
they read it in a book...
