Marrs is from my home base here in Austin, and shows up on some of the
local public access shows.  Best I can figure, he was a former computer
science teacher at the University of Texas, and did publish a couple of
books with titles like "Finding a Career in the High Tech Industry", etc.
I'm afraid I don't know the details of what placed him on the
"truth-finding" path.

A better book for my money is his "Big Sister is Watching You", which
claims that the US is run by baby-killing Nazi communist lesbians.  This
one got him denounced on the floor of Congress for calling Janet Reno
"butch".  He's at his best when he "reveals" the treachery of others in the
right-wing christian camp: evidently, Billy Graham is a Budhist or
something, and Bo Gritz is into regressive past-life hypnotherapy ?!
