Brooke claims that his mother-in-law told him before her death in 1977 to take care of the money and even treat it as his own. He complied, putting $47,000 in his bank account and using some $30,000 of it as part of the down payment on his Watergate condominium...
...book deals with the killings in Forest Hills, an overly-affluent neighborhood in Queens Breslin now calls home, the writing understandably gains power, seeming less the dry scribblings in a reporter's notebook and more the work of a man who has come too close to tragedy ever to treat it clinically.

Angry dropouts from the Worldwide Church publish a magazine, Ambassador Report, whose pages delight in Garner Ted's putative falls from grace. They treat Herbert just as harshly.

Director Peter Hyams' script does its best to exploit the latest fashions in paranoia. There are interwoven conspiracies and cover-ups; every U.S. Government official on view is a venal scoundrel. Hyams' cynical fantasies about the space program are an especially amusing treat. He suggests, with malicious wit, that NASA'S space walks could actually have taken place on Earth: indeed, he demonstrates that for the price of a video camera and a few buckets of sand, any American can take a giant step for mankind in the privacy of his own home...
