121 Details about Underhill’s arrival at the Fitzsimmonses’ are from a letter by Robert Fitzsimmons to John Donovan, June 21, 1964.
122 The conversation between Underhill and Charlene Fitzsimmons is reconstructed from the above letter and a letter from Mr. Fitzsimmons to Jim Garrison, May 3, 1968. Friends’ opinions of Underhill’s “rational and objective” demeanor are found in Turner, “Inquest,” p. 29.
123 Underhill’s background is taken from the Fitzimmons letter to Donovan and a Donovan letter to Jim Garrison of April 29, 1967; also Turner, “Inquest” pps. 28–29; David Cort, The Sin of Henry R. Luce (Seacucus: Lyle Stuart, 1974)
124 Underhill’s influence on Luce is noted in an internal Ramparts magazine memorandum by Edward Cohen dated May 15, 1966. The magazine researched Underhill for its two articles on the Garrison inquiry, one in June of 1967 and one in January of 1968.
