...Union pamphleteer, did not really happen. The trouble is, it hardly happens in the narrative either. When Breckinridge and Carroll get together, the passion they expend takes the form of abstract debate: "Two nights before, in her rooms at the Ebbitt House, they had stayed up through the dawn arguing the details of the ( President's war power."

Within four hours, a group of 13 NTSB investigators -- known as a "go team" -- left for Detroit from Washington.

Nigel Dempster, the country's leading gossip columnist, informed readers of the Daily Mail on Sunday that Di spent the weekend with Dunne and other guests at his family's country home while both his parents and Charles were away. When Diana was photographed at a David Bowie concert next to a handsome man, several papers trumpeted that it was Dunne. It was not; Di's companion turned out to be an officer...
