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. Installed at the Shoreham Hotel, Dolly even changed rooms, inspected the garbage can ("I found some paper and wires which weren't hitched to anything"), and was not reassured when the apprehensive Spivack took his leave...
