Toronto’s online magazine The Gate has a nice bit of boosterism for Ian Halperin, author of Unmasked: The Final Years of Michael Jackson: “Ian Halperin has done what every Canadian author in the country has dreamed of doing, but only he has done since 1944–to see their name under the title of a book atop the New York Times Best-Seller list. Good for you Ian, keep up the good work–it is an inspiring achievement that we should all be proud of.”

Stranger still is the accompanying photo of Mr. Halperin–disco ball shirt, gold bowtie, and looming above a not-so-subliminal sign for “Scientology.”–David E
