Is there a summary of the back story somewhere?

Paul,
Chris Mooney covers it in his article in the premiere issue of
Seed magazine. IIRC, he talks about the fundamentalist guy who launched the whole thing, then made such a mess that he had to high-tail it out of town. Considering he got the boot so badly, the court case is a sad joke.
For those who haven't yet seen it,
Seed is newly re-launched. The premiere issue is graphically slick and well-written. I think it is a must-read for all skeptics. The magazine's credo tips you off: "Science
is culture." This is what
Discover (and others) might have been had it not been overrun by the irrational and the panderers.
