Throughout the ages, wise men have maintained that the making of a bad man out of a good man is simply the size of the reward or the grandiosity of the identity achieved therein (i.e., every man has his price. ) What can happen when the funds available can meet anyone’s price? This is the very core of THE PRICE OF THEIR SOULS. The author’s life became entwined with that of Howard Hughes’ in 1964, on a remote road in Southern Mexico when Howard, then a stranger, committed a random act of kindness that may have saved the author’s life. The author and Howard became friends in their two-day journey north to a more populated area, where the author could board a train. In their many discussions, Howard confided in the author that he had only eight months to live. Later in life, through his research, the author came to the realization that his long-ago benefactor had been none other than the reclusive billionaire, Howard Hughes; but not the reclusive, demented persona fabricated by those bent on pillaging the Hughes Estate for millions in ill-gotten gain. THE PRICE OF THEIR SOULS is a vindication of Howard Hughes which sheds light on the greatest scam of the 20th century. No conspiracy theory written can compare with this intriguing documentary.
