Thank you for the link. There sure is a whole lot of info. I've bookmarked it. Thanks again.

You are welcome. If you ever have the chance read "Senatorial Privilege" by Leo Damore. It's an excellent book about the whole sordid mess.

Thanks again. I just might look for that book. A sordid mess, indeed. I despise Edward M. Some say he got away with murder. He got away with negligent homicide at the very least.
