...before the cameras turn, when it is ever so much cheaper, is one of Hollywood's enduring mysteries), since many scenes have nothing much to do with one another. The most egregious error of this sort concerns a geratic triangle involving Olivia de Havilland, Ben Johnson and Fred MacMurray that has no relation to the insect world. Then, too, one wonders about Michael Caine, the entomologist leading the fight against the winged villains. His lines suggest that there is more to his involvement with the bees than scientific concern, but we never find out what on earth is bugging...

After comparing these reports with Wayne's treatment by IRS, Caulfield concluded that "the Wayne complaint ... does not appear to be strong enough to be pursued." The same Acree-to-Caulfield connection gave the White House information...

...from Wayne for the years 1964 through 1966. As part of his probe, Caulfield examined the records of audits by the IRS of returns filed by a cross section of politicians and show-business personalities, both for and against Nixon. They included Richard Boone, Jerry Lewis, Peter Lawford, Fred MacMurray, Lucille Ball, Ronald Reagan, Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. All had been dunned for back taxes. The biggest IRS bill had gone to Lewis, who owed $446,312 for 1958 through 1968. He was followed by Davis ($36,683 between 1961 and 1966), Lawford ($32,720 between...
