  The shooting, in fact, took place in the run-up to the 1972 presidential election.

  In 2008, Kollerstrom was removed from his position as a research fellow at University College London for having written a number of articles suggesting that there had been no gas chambers at Auschwitz, and drawing attention to the number of orchestras at the concentration camp, as well as the existence of a swimming pool for the use of the inmates.

  c

  This was too much for some colonial authorities: the book, legal in France, was banned by the French high commissioner in Syria, presumably on the grounds that it was likely to inflame local hatreds.

  d

  In the socialist version of “Green Grow the Rushes, O,” five was for the “years of the five-year plan,” and four “for the four years taken.”

  e

  Collard subsequently acted as counsel for the British Communist spy Percy Glading, who in 1938 was tried and convicted of acting as the messenger between informants in the Woolwich Arsenal and a Soviet intelligence officer, Theodore Maly. Glading and his fellow defendants were sentenced to prison for six years.

  f

  For a balanced and almost painfully detailed account of Hiss’s wrongly disputed guilt, see Allen Weinstein, Perjury: The Hiss-Chambers Case (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1978).

  k

  Praise is due here to the journalist Martyn Gregory, the Gerald Posner of Diana conspiracism, whose research into the Paris crash and the various murder theories has sometimes been all that has stood between the mundane but important truth about that night and the Al Fayed-fed nonsense machine.

  l

  See chapter 8.

  m

  It is an interesting comment on these operations that four of the activists on whom files were maintained later became ministers in the government of Tony Blair.

  n

  Although critics of the nuclear industry believe that a substantial release of radiation from Three Mile Island may have led to an increased incidence of cancer among local people.

  o

  The Honolulu Advertiser of November 1, 2008, quoted the Hawaiian state health director, Dr. Chiyome Fukino, as saying that she had “personally seen and verified that the Hawaii State Department of Health has Sen.

There are plenty of other, important things to focus on, like the economy, taxes, energy.”
