...Klayman who led Starr to Ickes. (Ickes, in fact, is the man whose cats Klayman wanted to know about.) In March New Yorker writer Jane Mayer reported that in 1969, at age 19, Tripp was arrested and charged with grand larceny, charges that were later reduced. Mayer also noted that Tripp had not disclosed the arrest on her Pentagon security-clearance form, information that Mayer got from Pentagon public affairs chief Kenneth Bacon. Starr got to thinking about Ickes because of news accounts of a contentious six-hour deposition that Ickes underwent as part of a Judicial Watch lawsuit...

Tesh says he wrote the tune while in Europe; without a tape recorder or piano, he called home and sang it onto...
Much of the joking came from the thought that Ace might end up subsidizing a bunch of guys in gold chains and heavy cologne taking the drug for "enhancement" purposes, as one more hedge against middle-age insecurity, like Rogaine. The hospital will be weeding them out. Anyway, what they're looking for is a pill to cure rejection. Not even Ace has enough money for that...
