His royalties so far have totaled more than $100,000, but his father plans to salt most of that money away for his son's education and other future needs.

The pair stood at attention as each one's national anthem was played and howitzers...
...Moon freely returned to this country to face charges; on first appearing in the courtroom, he strode confidently to shake hands with his accusers and then turned to greet the press and spectators. After the proceedings, he addressed a rally of 2500 Church members and friends outside, stating his respect for America and trust in judicial due process. The attitude expressed by Rev.
