Notes From A Think Tank


BY GHQ

EDITORIAL, Feb 21 (VNN) —

Method of Presentation

The format is:

*25 Articles

*14 Appendices, called "Sections"

Articles

The twenty-five articles mainly address, point for point, the various statements made by "Ardhabuddhi Dasa" in his VNN article of November 18, 1998, entitled "Conspiracy To Terminate The ISKCON Women's Ministry." Each article is headlined by one of his statements. The sections are collections of exculpatory e-mails grouped under a general topic. Most of these texts were posted on GHQ, although several are private e-mails between members. When a text from the sections is referred to or quoted, we use the nomenclature: (x,y), where x indicates the section, and y the text number.
