...revolved around the $650,000 that Howard Hughes is supposed to have collected from McGraw-Hill for pouring forth his autobiography in at least 100 hours of interviews and tapings with Author Clifford Irving.* The $650,000 was allegedly paid to Hughes in the form of three checks-a cashier's check from Irving for $50,000, a McGraw-Hill check for $275,000 and a McGraw-Hill check for $325,000. Irving claims that he gave two of the checks to Hughes in person and the third to a trusted Hughes intermediary; by Irving's account, Hughes...
