Donn Downing tracked down friends from Hughes' Hollywood days as well as business associates. In Washington, Jerry Hannifin assayed Hughes' contributions to the aeronautical world, while Jess Cook interviewed Irving. Meanwhile, Roger Williams, John Tompkins and James Willwerth were also sifting Manhattan sources. Don Neff journeyed to Las Vegas and Carson City to interview state officials and former Hughes subordinates. Peter Range's assignment was Hughes' current lair on Paradise Island, where he found...
