Speaking of Leica Camera Owners and Knights Templar, there is a
breathlessly gushy new book out about Leicas and Leica photography -
$35, full color, some nice images, iconic and non-iconic, info about a
number of the cameras. It's clearly a very much approved version of
history, but amusing none the less. Oddly enough, the section on Leica
in WWII makes no mention  of the story oft-repeated on the LUG that
Leitz protected Jewish workers and sent many out of Germany with cameras
they could turn into cash. Odd that they wouldn't mention that....

B.d. thanks for plugging my web page www.facistbrotherhood.com: a web
page dedicated to leica owners and world domination. Unfortunately my
server's still being installed and the web page isn't up yet. When it's
functioning you'll be able to upload the names of non-leica-camera
owners and taunt them as well as plan the revolution. Along with the
Knights Templar, the Leica Camera Owners are one of the most powerful
underground groups on the planet, with members ranging from the Queen of
England to the despotic Henry Cartier Bresson. Streaming video of
kidnapping and "interrogation" of Minolta, Nikon and Argus owners will
be available 24/7 over high bandwidth lines. Our plans to rid the world
of non-leica-camera owners will be hammered out in the secret message
boards on www.fascistbrotherhood.com. Stay tuned.

Yours in Leica Lock Step,

General Kyle Cassidy, FBLO (Facist Brotherhood of Leica Owners)
