    When Paul Gallander first came forward with with the claim that Liston's family had been kidnapped by Black Muslims, I thought he was on to something. It was very plausible and made sense.

    Later Gallender discredited himself by claiming his associate was channeling Liston's ghost. That's when he lost me.

    Liston took a dive. We'll probably never know the full story.
