Some $500,000 was placed for a time in bank accounts opened in the name of the otherwise nonexistent institute and maintained by Herbert Kalmbach, then the President's personal attorney and the man who handled the purchase of Nixon's California estate. Kalmbach has insisted that "not a dime of campaign money went into San Clemente," and he has agreed to testify at length about how the funds were used.

Searching his records, he found that the carvings showed four small circles-similar to the so-called "False Cross" star grouping in the constellations Vela and Carina-flanked by two larger circles. Michanowsky identified one of these larger circles as a representation of the bright star Canopus. The other circle, which was even bigger, had no existing counterpart in the sky. But it was approximately at the site of the invisible pulsar. Could the second circle...
