today.msnbc.msn.com/id/46073697/ns/today-today_people/#.TxndrIHntKoInteresting article/interview to a degree with laura a day or two out from finishing. Saying in a nutshell, she probably will not return home to the Netherlands due to them and the interviews, threatening to take her away from her father etc. Do wish her luck in the future etc. Marty
