You may not want to read those stories any more because you know all the details. But a puffed up cover story on Phil Z in People magazine would be one of the best things that could happen. . . .
I concur with Steven, but only so long as the piece is more or less sympathetic. I think Phil has gotten an amazing amount of positive press. In the scheme of things, this may prove to be more beneficial for the Cypherpunkish agendas than even his creation of PGP. Phil's image--cryptographer as puppy-dog--will help us a lot more than the "evil kiddieporn/terrorist/hacker" image the FBI and Diane Feinstein would prefer the public to see.
