    • Randal Hendricks’ meticulously researched article in the Houston Law Review, “A Legal Analysis of the Sale of Life Insurance” cannot be found anywhere online.
    • Nor can I locate Venita Van Caspel’s brilliant analysis in her 1975 book, Money Dynamics (Chapter XIII, titled: “Life Insurance – The Great American Fraud?”). In subsequent editions, she was obliged to change the last word to “Dilemma”. Tens of thousands of reprints circulated. Copyright problems?
