...pictures of himself and one of his wife Laura. The menu and program for a lavish dinner the Tennessee Army veterans held at the Palmer House and the entire seating plan. An 1868 reunion ribbon, some handwritten notes, two pieces of wartime paper money. One memento to his future heirs was sealed with red wax and carefully labeled: "Cigar given to John McNulta by General U.S. Grant, November 14, 1879, must not be opened for 100 years and then smoked by some one of the descendants or by some soldier who has rendered good service to his country...
...Wright agreed to co-author the book shortly after DeLorean left. Wright interviewed the executive at length, got DeLorean's personal papers and says that "anything of a substantive or controversial nature is either on tape or appears in John's handwritten notes. It's airtight." But DeLorean backed out of the project; he has started an auto plant in Northern Ireland and may want GM's help in securing parts and dealers.

Carter said nothing personal had been intended by his comments. Kennedy refused to term the President's note an apology, saying merely, "I appreciate his sending it to me." Did Kennedy expect Carter to make an issue of Chappaquiddick? Replied the Senator...
Enclosed with the photo was a scathing, ten-point "interrogation" about his alleged wheeling and dealing, apparently handwritten by Sindona under duress. The questions demand detailed information from Guzzi about illegal deals that Sindona reportedly conducted through his banks on behalf of some of Italy's leading politicians and businessmen, and the Vatican to boot. Guzzi is instructed in the note to be ready-if he is telephoned by one of the captors-to reply to all of the questions within ten minutes...
