Making Mormon History
Mark Oppenheimer has an excellent article in the Boston Globe:

Decent article.
Btw, maybe using the world "Gentile" is a Utah thing. I never hear it among Texas Mormons. Of course, Texas Mormons don't call where they live "the mission field" either. |

I never hear that word used. Another stupid stereotype with little basis in reality.

Describing non-LDS as gentiles in Utah was a common practice 150 years ago. I'd call that some basis in reality.

My first day of evidence with Goldsmith, he shows up a minute or two late, walks down to the front of the class, goes to the chalkboard, and proceeds to write his social security number on the board for everyone to see. He then says, "for some reason, the school feels the need to give me all of your SSNs. I thought it was fair that you had mine." After much laughter, he begins the class and proceeds to tell us one story after another of his RICO adventures. I liked Au-Smith.
