...soon found out, wasn't the only convert. Arnie flew out to Denver every week or so to look for oil and stayed in a condominium he and his business partner had bought there, and David drove to EI Paso every Monday to work in a Boy Scout camp. To get to the movies they drove at least three miles, and even though the Safeway supermarket was about a quarter mile from their home, they never walked. Liz thought nothing of flying to Shreveport, La., to visit friends from her temple youth group...

White told reporters that the Salvadoran government, contrary to its official declarations, had failed to conduct a "serious investigation" into the horrifying murders of four American missionaries. After publicly speaking out against additional U.S. military aid to EI Salvador, White was immediately relieved of his post by the Reagan Administration. To add insult to injury, after testifying candidly before a House subcommittee. White was "retired" from the Foreign Service at the request...
