My introduction to the subject came via Cameron Manheim from "The Practice."
  If you follow the Practice links to her own personal page, she has a link
to her brother's site, who she says taught her everything she knows about
the law. So I followed that link and discovered on his site some rather
extensive material on the missing 13th. Her brother teaches law at Loyola,
as I recall. I then asked around among the people I know who are law
buffs, and they were all aware in considerably more detail, it seemed, of
the same material, although some of them probably fit the categories you
indicated, for sure. But then, Hitler liked dogs...
