As many on this newsgroup are aware, there has been a heated 
debate in Theosophical circles about K. Paul Johnson's thesis
concerning the historical identity of Madame's "Masters."
Daniel Caldwell, an expert on the early history of Theosophy,
has written an analysis of Johnson's work entitled House of
Cards. K. Paul Johnson, a noted scholar and author of two widely
discussed books on Theosophy (SUNY Press), has written a rejoinder
to Daniel Caldwell. Johnson's essay and a hyperlink to Caldwell's
essay are now online via the Neural Surfer, Critical Mind, point 5.

discussions in this group......
