The archivists at the Ford Library, they went through his call logs, and there was no evidence that he ever made that call.
And then we talked to George Jr., and he talked to everybody in his family, and they don't remember it either.
Anyway, you can't say for sure, but as far as we can tell, that call never happened.
But we did find out that the same day that Oliver sent that letter back to Ford—
he and his lawyer filed a $15 million lawsuit against the press.
Really?
Saying what?
That the newspapers, when they publicized that he was gay without his consent, they violated his privacy.
Okay, walking out of Civic Center, Burt.
It's just, it's one of those cases where it pulls your head in one direction and it pulls your heart in the exact opposite direction.
And so we wanted to get into the legal case files and we could not find them.
We looked and looked and looked and then we found them.
You found them?
We found them.
Where'd you find them?
So the clerk's office is, I guess, not surprisingly, right off City Hall.
They were at this court in San Francisco.
And so we recruited this guy, this researcher, historian of the, you know, gay movement in San Francisco, great name, Joey Plaster.
Okay.
Went and got the files for us.
