...claimed, a disinterested patriot acting at Government request to attain what he thought were worthy foreign policy goals? Or was he out for profit? Secord repeatedly insisted that from mid-1985 on he "forswore" any profit. Liman pressed Secord about closed-door testimony taken previously from Robert Dutton, an associate in the contra supply network. Dutton had said Secord considered selling the network's assets, which eventually included five aircraft and facilities in El Salvador and Costa Rica, to the CIA for $4 million. Wrong, said Secord: he intended, once Congress permitted a resumption of open Government military...
...role of the NSC staff in setting up this contra-supply network will be explored through the testimony of such Secord associates as Robert Dutton and Richard Gadd, both of whom are believed to have worked closely with North. Then Felix Rodriguez, identified as a CIA agent who uses the moniker Max Gomez, will be asked to explain his job as liaison between El Salvador's air force and private pilots, some of whom wound up air-dropping supplies to the contras from Salvador's Ilopango Air Base. Recommended for his role by Donald Gregg, a top aide to Vice...
Some of our correspondents found subjects for books simply by plying their trade. Before leaving Tokyo for his new post in Los Angeles, Correspondent Edwin Reingold collaborated with his subject for Made in Japan: Akio Morita and Sony (Dutton), a study of that enterprising industrialist.

...whole mess; they reiterated their refusal to testify last week. Others who did the same: Richard Secord, a retired Air Force general who was deeply involved in funneling aid to the contras and who, it turned out last week, was also involved in arms and hostage negotiations; Robert Dutton, an associate of Secord's; Robert Owen, allegedly a liaison between North and the contras. Robert Earl, a North deputy, came up with a novel reason for delaying testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee. He pleaded his Sixth Amendment right to be represented by counsel, who, he said, would need...
Perhaps the most laborious writing effort was undertaken by the accountant, J.R. Sprechman, whose first novel, Caribe, (Dutton; 280 pages; $17.95) took him decades. The result is anything but weary. The narrative has the sheen of quicksilver, and it manages to blend brutal scenes of New York City drug wars, hints of the supernatural reminiscent of a South American fable and political intrigue worthy of John le Carre. The scene is a haunted, Haiti-like island, and the four main characters are a blunt Manhattan policeman, a slippery arms dealer, a volatile Caribbean dictator whose paranoia is justified...
