...spent $450,000 to recreate it, right down to the wastebaskets, on their Burbank, Calif., lot; then they had real Washington Post trash shipped west to fill those baskets.

Pavlovich told a friend after his arrest that if the newspapers thought the name had come from Jonas Scott Cord, a villain in Harold Robbins The Carpetbaggers, "that was fine," but untrue. No matter what the name, however--nobody suspected...
