The boofing and the devils triangle were more sensational I guess.

When you find out, please let us know as soon as possible.

Wow, Mr. Fugi. What a great wrestler. I talked to him in Memphis airport once way back in the 1980's. Nice man.

The media didn't want to draw attention to the fact that Ford and Katz refused to hand over those details. You see a smear works by pretending to have evidence but never showing that evidence because the evidence is garbage.

It didn't. Most reporters mentioned, several times, that Ford had taken a polygraph test.

At the same time, however, polygraph tests are not very reliable and in some cases aren't even permissible as evidence. Even when they are allowed, the lawyer is always careful to introduce other supporting evidence, and not simply rely on the polygraph test by itself.
