...articles. "I feel so strongly about these articles," wrote Mrs. Wilma Schmidt, director of nursing, "that I would not be able to do business with any company that continues to support this type of sensational journalism. I'm sure many of our employees feel this way." A list of Weekender advertisers was posted on the hospital's bulletin board; people on the list began getting anonymous phone calls ranging from obscene to threatening...

About 48 hours later, the phone rang at 11 a.m., and the flat, nasal voice at the other end identified itself as that of Howard Hughes. That started weeks of titillation, intrigue, maneuvering, exhaustion and sheer damn foolishness. We were on a first-name basis after the second call, but his calls never seemed to have an end or a beginning. They were, in essence, monologues, in which he made a case for holding off the story until new financing for TWA could be arranged...
