And one of the people he mentions is a name that I had run into elsewhere. And so I really paid attention to it when I saw it again. And the name is Reeve Whitson. Reeve Whitson... shows up on the fringes, even though he has no judicial function. He sort of hangs around Bugliosi in the prosecution. He's some sort of advice. He's just kind of there.

But a decade later, he shows up as a CIA officer in Central America. Hmm. So, Reeve Whitson, later in his career at least, is CIA. What was he in 1969? What is he doing in this era?
