...Davis brought forth another disavowal of the entire project from Hughes. It was in the form of two pages of typewritten questions with longhand answers allegedly written by Hughes. Said one query: "Did you at any time authorize McGraw-Hill or Clifford Irving or anyone other than Rosemont [a publishing company set up by Hughes] to publish your autobiography or any material relating to you?" The scrawled reply: "No. I would like to see these forgeries." "When is the last time you personally endorsed a check for any reason?" "More than ten years ago." At the bottom of each page...

After translating it into a dozen languages, the Club of Rome will use its influence to place Limits in the right hands, where its message may influence policy and stir public debate...
...thought I would get out of town relatively quietly. Unfortunately you decided to publish Jim Krauss's missive on the Dead (Dec. 15). Couldn't you have held it until Friday, when most everyone was home and wouldn't have had to face Krauss's edifying remarks? Wasn't there any news at all? Not even a story on Tricia...
