Godwin. “My own little career beats the fool out of fiction,” says Godwin, 67. He is a mountain of a man; a 6′-2″ image of Lenin whose steely gaze makes one feel like a target being lined up on rifle sights. He is rarely in a tie, favoring neatly tailored gray suits over a snow white turtleneck.</p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Godwin is a veteran of the religious right who did two tours of duty with Falwell. The first was as executive vice president of the <b>Moral Majority</b> in the 1980s. Falwell bonded with Godwin, whom he admired for rising out of an obscure existence in the Florida panhandle to become president of two Christian schools. They traveled together everywhere. As Falwell disbanded the Moral Majority in 1987 Godwin was approached by an official at the Unification Church to see whether he might be interested in working for Moon. The job was senior vice president for <span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">New World Communications, the Unification Church-backed publisher of the <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Washington Times</i>. “They offered me a ton of money and the chance to travel around the world.” It was an easy decision for Godwin, but a tough one for Falwell, who sat in Godwin’s office in tears when Godwin broke the news.</span></p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Before his stint with Falwell, Godwin had graduated from fundamentalist Bob Jones University with a master’s degree in organizational management. Moon’s staffers believed Godwin had empathy for religious owners, and could be trusted. But Godwin did not completely trust them. He says he wrote a clause into his contract stating that if any member of Moon’s church tried to convert him, he’d be entitled to a $500,000 penalty. He never collected. Godwin started work in his new Washington office days later, but for the next few months he was constantly reminded of his old job. Sitting near him were three IRS agents who believed Godwin had kept a second set of books while working at the Moral Majority. Each week several boxes of newly requested financial documents would arrive and the agents would pore through them. “It was total nonsense. There was never a second set of financials,” says Godwin.</p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"><span style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 102);">Godwin became an ambassador for the <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Washington Times </i>and a roving efficiency expert for the giant constellation of Moon’s enterprises in real estate, hotels and restaurants. He swooped in on Moon-owned operations to analyze productivity and suggest ways to squeeze profits, he says. He got to know all of Moon’s children and attended their birthday parties. His budget was prodigious. For a 4,000-guest <i style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Washington Times </i>banquet, Godwin rented the Great Hall of the People, the giant edifice on the western edge of Tiananmen Square.</span></p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Godwin had returned to Liberty after a 12-year absence, becoming Falwell’s chief financial officer and spokesman in 1999. He had left on the brink of Liberty’s near-destruction and returned on the cusp of its miraculous rescue. When he returned he was rich, but his personal life was a shambles. Falwell was alone in his sympathy for Godwin. To some faculty members hiring Godwin was blasphemy. He was a twice-divorced single man who had spent the last decade working for the Moonies. “In our subculture, hiring me was a very outrageous thing to do,” he says.</p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">If Godwin was surprised to be re-hired, he was shocked to discover the tenuous standing of Falwell himself on campus. The years of living in financial quicksand had taken its toll with some members of Liberty’s 35-member board. Liberty had been put on probation by Southern Association of Colleges and Schools for a second time. The SACS review committee was concerned not just about Liberty’s debt but the amount of Falwell’s power in administrative decision making. Why was the school being run by both its president and chancellor? Some Liberty board members believed the school was growing in spite of Falwell, not because of him.</p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Two years before Godwin returned, its then president, A. Pierre Guillermin, had resigned. Falwell and the Liberty board chose John M. Borek as his replacement. Prior to joining LU, Borek had been chief financial officer at Georgia State. More importantly, he had served on 30 accrediting committees for SACS. With the colossal gifts from Art Williams in place, Borek was the point man to get Liberty back in good standing again with SACS.</p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Borek succeeded. His star was rising at Liberty just as Falwell’s was falling. “Jerry felt unwelcome on his own campus,” said Godwin. “Borek took the place over and marginalized Doc. There was even talk about moving Doc out of the mansion, across the road into some double wide trailer. He had been wounded by all these financial problems and Borek took huge advantage of that.”</p><p style="margin: 15px 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; font-size: 18px; vertical-align: baseline; line-height: 24px; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; word-wrap: break-word; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;">Falwell made a prescient countermove: he convinced the board to appoint Godwin as executive vice president and Liberty’s chief financial officer. Falwell had saved Godwin; now Godwin would save Falwell. He drew up a list, much like the one he brought to breakfast with Falwell each morning, only this one had names of those he considered Borek’s base of support: Liberty administrators and faculty Godwin identified as “enemies.” It did not take long to whittle it down, he says. “Let’s just say there’s no one left on it.” From that point on Godwin became Falwell’s Karl Rove.</p></div><div>
