...talk further to the committee staff left vast areas of his account still untouched and therefore largely unknown. The staff was unable to question him, for example, about the precise substance of his multiple conversations with the President pending a committee decision on whether this would violate attorney-client privilege. Before the committee could come to a decision, the White House declared that it no longer was making any such claim against divulging Dean's talks with the President, and that point-once strongly stressed by Nixon himself-is now moot...
...joined a Washington law firm, but his career as a practicing attorney ended sourly six months later. Assigned to help prepare a client's application for a new television station, Dean was discovered to be working on a rival application-for himself and some friends -and was fired.

The chain of contacts now reaches to Pope Paul VI, whom Lloyd obtained as a prospective client during a private audience a few years...
...Colvin himself is one of that cruising minority. Gazelle was not built for a client; she was built for the Col vin family, and she has taken them more than 10,000 miles in every weather. Her Chinese rig is the product of years of research and practical trial. For an experienced sailor like Colvin, who first went to sea at 14 on a three-masted schooner, the steel hull with its full-battened sails represents just about the ultimate in versatility, strength and simplicity...
