was what we considered from a Church standpoint as an abomination, but besides
that,
he was an economic vulture. He came in here and the first thing he did is he
took
$150,000 of our tithes and put it into his own pocketbook.
WALLACE: Well, that at the rate of $150 an hour, I believe, (RADER: That's
right.)
