...intuition, Publisher Schiff charged that she was placed under surveillance ("Apparently the FBI was indeed watching me") ; she insinuated -without any shred of evidence-that her hotel rooms were bugged. On a trip to Washington, she said, she was warned by the Post's White House Correspondent Bob Spivack that the FBI was probably recording their conversation in Spivack's car.
