In a 50-year career, she was awarded some 25 gold and platinum discs. She collaborated with Phil Spector on Chapel of Love and Da Doo Ron Ron. She wrote Leader of the Pack with her ex-husband, which became the basis for a Broadway musical based on her life.
Just over two weeks ago, FBI translator-turned-whistleblower Sibel Edmonds was finally allowed to speak about much of what the Bush Administration spent years trying to keep her from discussing publicly on the record.

(The cancer "industry" has reaped BILLIONS of dollars from this "contamination" over the years, of course.) Dr. Maurice Hilleman has actually confessed as being a part of this very activity.
Members of the Los Angeles Jewish community have threatened to withhold donations to an Israeli university in protest of an op-ed published by a prominent Israeli academic in the Los Angeles Times on Friday, in which he called to boycott Israel economically, culturally and politically.
Dr Neve Gordon of Ben-Gurion University in Be'er Sheva, a veteran peace activist, branded Israel as an Apartheid state and said that a boycott was "the only way to save it from itself."
