Memory and Manipulation
The trials of Elizabeth Loftus, defender of the wrongly accused
by Sasha Abramsky, LA Weekly, 20 August 2004
"memory experts such as Loftus have been proving that not only 
is memory unreliable, it can also be so utterly manipulated as to 
render it next-to-useless as pivotal evidence in criminal cases ... 
physiologically, the truth is less important than an individual's 
perception of the truth."
[Explains faddish memories of alien abductions, child abuse by
priests, etc., in getting at the truth for the sake of justice.
Prof. Loftus is at UC Irvine, host of this distribution list - Ed.]
