A general interest magazine is touching on an arrangement involving insurable interest in a profile of Ralph Reed, who is running for lieutenant governor in Georgia.
The magazine, GQ, has published an early version of the profile on the Web, at http://men.style.com
In the profile, writer Sean Flynn says copies of electronic mail released by a Senate committee show that Jack Abramoff, a lobbyist, wrote to Ralph Reed, the former executive director of the Christian Coalition of America, Washington, to suggest the idea of setting up a church-owned life insurance program for black churches.
