The suit taps all the usuals--"breach of contract, fraud and deceit, conspiracy, breach of confidence, libel and slander"--in connection with Sheehan's first book. The Arnheiter Affair, published last month. Yet the foundation of Arnheiter's suit is shallow, for Sheehan has--through two years of pain-staking interviews and research--come up with a tight, cleverly-written and fascinating account...
