Kevin, you wrote:

...I also seem to remember a similar theory that states that protons were also
toroidal charges the same size as an electron, but with the opposite charge.
How would the author's explain the clear evidence (based on Millikin's oil
drop experiments) that the mass of the electron is about a million times
less than that of the proton?

I would also be interested to know how they explain the structure of the
neutron.

I know you are not a physicist, but I hope it's not too much to
ask to get the relative masses of electron and proton correct. The
electron is roughly 1800 times less massive than the proton
(9.11 x 10-31 kg vs. 1.6 x 10-27 kg).
