...building Zaccaro inherited from his father 13 years ago and immediately sold; an imprisoned swindler once owned a building that Zaccaro managed. TIME learned that U.S. Attorney Rudolph Giuliani asked Zaccaro to his office last Thursday to talk about a 1972 real estate transaction. Zaccaro is only a minor witness in the case, and has cooperated with the Government. Explained the U.S. Attorney: "He is not under investigation." Why, then, was it necessary to interview Zaccaro last week of all weeks? Giuliani, a Reagan appointee, did not elaborate on his unfortunate timing...
...book's strongest sections cover the arts of selling and negotiating. McCormack's skills in these areas are both revered and reviled: in siding circles he was once dubbed "the abominable snow-job man."

...alone. The first nudes were unexceptionally raunchy (two of the Penthouse shots are apparently from this take). But material from the second session with Williams and another woman is enough to take the starch out of anyone's shirt, even the Playboy Bunny's. One of the minor amusements of this whole episode was the sight of Hugh Hefner, swathed in silk loungewear, being interviewed on the Today show show and expressing concern for Williams' career. "The single victim in all of this was the young woman herself, whose right to make this decision was taken away...
