Novelist James Ellroy's latest novel, Blood's a Rover, is the last in a trilogy about America's criminal underworld. The first two novels were American Tabloid and The Cold Six Thousand.
According to marketing descriptions and reviews of the new book, Howard Hughes is a prominent character, covering his buying of Las Vegas casinos during the late 1960s.
It's important to note that Ellroy writes fiction. He uses real-life characters such as Hughes and Richard Nixon, but he has created an alternate, speculative history here. Although Ellroy's speculative take may be entrancing or persuasive as representing something closer to "what really happened," in the end it is fiction, intended primarily for entertainment, not enlightenment.

Get over Favre: he definately isn't agonizing over your columns! lol
I tried to tell you about the Informant thing, but in a much more diplomatic tone earlier.
Sad to say, I probably resemble Matt more than you do!
Some DNA results due soon! Then we'll see what the tale AGTC sequences!
Howard's file in Moscow was evidently one of those tossed out the window when the citizens invaded the KGB headquarters and guess who???? has it now!
Hey Paul: Here's one I had before you did: Seems they are following my lead!! Hummm!!
Quote an earlier post!
Met a diver (now dead) 30 years ago who claimed to have worked that recovery. His story is much like the news reports, with some notable exceptions (more recovered than the news reported).
No way to verify it now and he's beyond the oath of secrecy they had to take.

Seems the CIA agrees with me! Now ain't you surprised?? lol
BTW: You need to be wondering just what was in the KGB file. I hear the Ruskies did some in depth digging on some people associated with Hughes, and they WEREN't hamstrung by the Mormon mafia or the US constitution! Watch behind you pal! They may know more than you think!
Sorry, meant to include the citation url:
Here it is!

With the belly you and I are starting to sport, there just ain't no legitimate reason to over eat! lol
Hosea 8:6-8 (New International Version)
6 They are from Israel!
This calf—a craftsman has made it;
it is not God.
It will be broken in pieces,
that calf of Samaria.
7 "They sow the wind
and reap the whirlwind.
The stalk has no head;
it will produce no flour.
Were it to yield grain,
foreigners would swallow it up.
8 Israel is swallowed up;
now she is among the nations
like a worthless thing.
The greedy have sown the wind, they will now reap the whirlwind. Or as Mauh Dib, in "Dune" said, "When religion and politics ride in the same cart, the whirlwind follows!
"Lots of sadness over closures of Henderson Home News and Boulder City News but why aren't more people angry? Didn't have to happen."
Paradigm shift: Your paper is not far behind if they don't learn some new strategies to remain relevant.
With half of America addicted to idiot shows like "American Idol", "real news" just don't have much attraction. You need to resurrect REAL investigative journalism at the Register and you'd get a ten year extension on life! Just my opinion!
I'm sure that whoever it is claiming to be the son of Howard and Jean is shedding some tears over the article in today's Wall Street Journal about the diminution in value of what's left of the Hughes interest in Summerlin.
You miss the point,
We've said all along, that the PROOF is more important than the money. The manipulators have worked to keep the heir poor by political, criminal and economic manipulation. Trouble is they didn't realize, they were in fact shaping his personality to not RELY on material things and therefore made him a thousand times more dangerous!

From a previous post on the "Key Player in Glomar Explorer..."
Quote:
"There are hiding places that are time driven, that can never be discovered until a certain amount of time elapses. For instance, instructing a Swiss bank to open a letter at a future date and contact the heir mentioned in the letter. Or considering the predilection of Howard for London, there are representatives there who specialize in just such timed representation. Or the Bahamas, a place that specializes in hiding funds, wills, etc for future reference. I am tempted to tell you a real story, of successful hiding for 50 years for an heir, but again, it might endanger lives. So, yes you searched, but you did not find, so may I suggest you didn't search hard enough or with enough imagination???"

Like Bilbo Baggins in the "The Hobbit" had to hide his identity from the dragon, so the heir hides his from the Hughes greed merchants. Like Frodo with his "barrel rider" reference, here are some clues to the location of the real will...Just to make the scum pull their hair out. If they understand it, they'll know if I have access to it, if they don't then it will plague their minds! Here's the riddle:
"A hiding place that is not hid,
a secret place for a kid. A secret that gets ever more hidden, but closer to it's aim, all unbidden. A secret that is the fabric of life, a defense against stress and strife. To excite the heir to find it's site, drawing him closer every night. Encased in a manmade tomb, bake a light cake unseen by the moon."
Now Paul, if you understand that, you know what we have and that the real heir is real. Or like the dragon
