Re:

I'd really appreciate your input on how I respond, or if I respond, to this new wave of putrid press. My concern is that the crazy ruling provides fuel to the haters, and in this environment, it has become dangerous. It's difficult to portray the allegations as tabloid as it is now come from a federal judge. The idea that I trafficked in young girls and gave them to others is so nuts, but now, part of the story.

Do you think instead of the position that this will blow over, it is time to try to balance, counter, or mediate the story? (too late) 1 Letter to Masse. 2 op-ed to Miami Herald. 3 one of the lawyers out in front (which one making the TV morning rounds explaining the case and resolution?). What steps do you suggest? I'm stymied.

Where can I call you later... I wrote out an answer, but it may seem a little harsh in describing the current reality and I would prefer to explain it on phone than in an email.
