Did you see the cover of the Trib today? Story on Polygamy - follow up to Under the Banner of Heaven

Did you see the cover of the Trib today? The big headline was "Polygamy: Utah's Open Little Secret" (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0609240351sep24,1,3161781.story?coll=chi-news-hed&ctrack=1&cset=true) which was kind of a cover feature follow up to the Warren Jeff's arrest a couple weeks back. If you haven't seen it, I thought you might find it's portrayal of polygamy by the family it interview interesting in light of what we read about in Under the Banner of Heaven.

Shortly after we read Under the Banner of Heaven I was googling Colorado City, Arizona and came across this interesting feature of a women who got out of that society. At the time I had mentioned it to a couple of people who were interested and then I had bad follow through with a paper copy. Here is the electronic link to the story if you are interested: http://www.phoenixnewtimes.com/Issues/2003-03-13/feature_5.html .
