I swear that Lewis Powell tends to jump out at you no matter what rendition you see -- and I don't believe that theory.

Were the Kunhardts the very first to promote this theory? Or had it been around prior to the publication of Twenty Days?

Very good Betty! But did you know a person that unwittingly may have had a hand in starting the French Revolution is buried in Massachusetts? Henrietta Deluzy-Desportes (spl)?

Oh, I know all about Henriette, the Duc and Duchess! Another wonderful little known murder mystery....I've been facinated by that story for years as well. I have the original trial transcript for that one as well - but of course it's all in French. I can read a little French (had 3 years of it in high school) and can pick out words here and there, but am not fluent in either speaking or writing!
A fascinating story!
