The credit union's manager: Republican Party activist Lawrence E. \"Larry\" King, Jr., behind whose rise to fame and riches stood powerful figures in Nebraska politics and business, and in the nation's capital. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In the face of opposition from local and state law enforcement, from the FBI, and from the powerful \u003ci\u003eOmaha World-Herald\u003c\/i\u003e newspaper, a special Franklin committee of the Nebraska Legislature launched its own probe. What looked like a financial swindle, soon exploded into a hideous tale of drugs, Iran-Contra money-laundering, a nationwide child abuse ring, and ritual murder. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Nineteen months later, the legislative committee's chief investigator died - suddenly, and violently, like more than a dozen other people linked to the Franklin case. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Author John DeCamp knows the Franklin scandal from the inside. In 1990, his \"DeCamp memo\" first publicly named the alleged high-ranking abusers. Today, he is attorney for two of the abuse victims. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Using documentation never before made public, DeCamp lays bare not only the crimes, but the cover-up - a textbook case of how dangerous the corruption of institutions of government, and the press, can be. In its sweep and in what it portends for the nation, the Franklin cover-up followed the ugly precedent of the Warren Commission.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John W.
