Has anyone else read this book (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1560258047/qid=1144554721/sr=2-1/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_1/104-9398444-9487926?s=books&v=glance&n=283155) by Jon Jackson?
Lots of juicy tidbits, especially about everyone's favorite persona non grata, Morry Stillwell.
Morry on the 2002 SLC pairs scandal: "You know, those were the best damn judges we have out there," he boasted. "If they thought the Russians should have won, then, by damn, that's the right result." He continued: "It's certainly looked that way to me. I trust our judges were fair."
On the 2002 Worlds ice dancing results, when the Israelis won a medal that caused all the other competitors to sign a petition protestingthe results: "In my opinion, the results were exactly right." Stillwell deemed the athletes' petition as "laughable."
And hey, there's a podium picture of Mike Dianda (Championship Masters competitor at AN2006) with Jon Jackson in the photo section on the medal podium for intermediate men at the 1980 Central Pacific Regionals!
