After the Namath book, the transcriptions are backed up like 707s at J.F.K. The next two, set for late March publication, are diaries of professional Golfer Frank Beard and Detroit Tiger Bill Freehan, who were chosen, as Schaap puts it, "as much for their ability to articulate as for their ability to play the sport."

Like two other outfits (B52 and B-55) operating in Viet Nam, B57 is a Special Forces intelligence unit, commanded by Major David Crew of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, one of the eight under arrest. It was engaged in counterespionage along the borders of Laos and Cambodia, employing a network of 300 secret agents to spot enemy infiltrators, supply dumps and rest camps.
