If anyone wants to pick up a copy of David Whitworth's book, it's on Ebay for $4.50. Only 40 dollars less than it's going for on Amazon.

$4.50??? I was cheated when I paid $5 from the Harris County library. For some reason it had never been checked out.

Yeah, for some morbid reason, I read it again about a year ago, and I got in an elevator with Sherwood Blunt the very next day. Kind of surreal moment.

That's because it's not entirely accurate. In fact, quite low on the scale.

I just have to ask.. Why would he go through all that trouble of writing a book and not be as accurate as possible? please tell me what was inaccurate... I am fascinated by the scandal..

Me too. I'd love to know the flaws. One day I hope to make a movie/mini-series about the events.
And thanks Stlhockeyguy02 .... I just might have to put in a bid! I checked it out from the SMU library a few years back. I think I was the first person to check it out in more than a decade.

Some guy named Ochs did a documentary about five years ago on the subject and entered it in the Dallas Video Festival. He was a student.
Afterward he said he'd be glad to send me a copy, then vanished from the face of the earth. (I didn't ask, he just offered.)
I think it was called, "Life After Death" or something like that, and it featured interviews with Dale Hansen, Forrest Gregg, maybe Randy Galloway and lots of game footage.
Pretty gut-wrenching when Gregg says he'd seen lots of things in his life, but one thing he never, ever thought he'd see was the breakup of the SWC.
