Last week Edith had more cause to be furious. Nina, who was vacationing in Nassau-ironically close to Hughes' reclusive penthouse on Paradise Island-confirmed that she had accompanied Irving on a five-day trip to Oaxaca, Mexico, last February. In his exhaustive affidavit explaining how he had obtained the autobiography, Irving claimed to have held two secret meetings with Hughes during that Mexican trip. But Nina said that such meetings would have been impossible, since Irving hardly ever left her side. The total time they were apart, she said, was for "an hour, an hour and a half...

If Irving is lying, he has obviously left himself open to comprehensive perjury charges, for his account is remarkably explicit. He and Hughes first met by prearrangement, says Irving, in Oaxaca, Mexico, on Feb. 13.

Besides the numerous telescopes, cameras and other elaborate gear located in Oaxaca, other equipment is being set up at observatories all along the Eastern Seaboard. By the fortunes of celestial mechanics, the eclipse's path will cross Wallop's Island, Va., where NASA scientists will send up 33 probing rockets as the shadow approaches. In addition, several research planes will seek an above-the-weather look at the eclipse; a U.S. Air Force KC-135 will even race...
