...competitors will also carry the speeches of Navy Secretary John Lehman and French President Francois Mitterrand, as well as reaction shots of Reagan after he lights the statue. Finally, all four networks will carry not only the swearing in of 258 new citizens by U.S. Chief Justice Warren Burger but also reaction shots of the audience. Only ABC, however, will air the Medal of Liberty awards. The network argued that since the winners have been announced and Reagan is not speaking during the presentation, the event will not provide fresh news.

Previous "Prophets" had emerged from among the so-called worthy men who led the FLDS, but with Warren Jeffs the leadership passed from father to son. The community soon found Warren was a strict enforcer of teaching, expelling members, confiscating property and reassigning wives - he took his father's 22 wives as his own. Named to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list, he traveled with bodyguards who delivered his exile messages and helped...
