...Boston patients studied by Komaroff's team, 21% claimed to have suffered extreme exhaustion for at least six months. None had pre-existing organic illnesses that could account for their symptoms. The second J.A.M.A. paper, by Kaplan's CDC team, revealed that only 15 of 134 patients studied in the Lake Tahoe outbreak had "severe, persistent fatigue" of undetermined cause.

...Hall's account greatly sharpened the picture of deceit that has slowly developed from the hearings. She explained how North had taped to his desk a list of six documents that linked him to supplying money and weapons to the contras. On Friday, Nov. 21, after the Iran arms sales had been revealed and North's intertwined help for the contras seemed likely to be discovered, he handed Hall four documents on which he had jotted changes. She then typed entirely new memos. Asked if she realized the significance of her doctoring, she snapped, "That...
