      Notes:

    At the time of this broadcast the big scandal was when McGraw
Hill printed a phony biography of Howard Hughes written by con-man
Clifford Irving. Irving thought the reclusive Hughes would not come
out of seclusion to say the book was phony. He did, however hold a
conference call attended  by dozens of reporters and said he never met
Irving
