...Courtesies aside, Mansfield's main goal was to extract from Lady Sarah the whereabouts of missing letters between Diana and Prince Philip, Diana's former father-in-law, which he believes could explain Diana's death - or, as he sees it, murder. Previously in the inquest, Diana's confidant Simone Simmons, a self-described natural healer and clairvoyant, testified that Diana had shown her the letters, in which she said Prince Philip described Diana as a "harlot and trollop."

His 1975 best-selling book, Inside the Company: CIA Diary, critiqued U.S. policy and named purported CIA operatives, enraging U.S.officials and inspiring the U.S. law criminalizing the exposure of covert agents (which later figured in the Valerie Plame case). After living in Germany for years, Agee, whose U.S. passport was revoked in 1979, moved to Havana to start a travel website that encourages U.S. tourism...
