2. Fawn Hall...

... in her younger days was absolutely gorgeous. I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Ole Ollie was dipping his wick while married.

4. Blast from the past for me too! This made me remember seeing her at Tower Records on Sunset when I worked there.

I completely forgot about that until now.

6. At one point he was quoted as writing...

An email where essentially said "this place sucks, send fawn". It was a joke at the time, but maybe prescient.

7. What happened to pious Ollie's original

Mrs North? He didn't dump her?

[madinmaryland]

8. She died a couple of years ago. Don't know if they were still married, though it sounds like they were.

9. Cocaine?

She was a cocaine user when she held jobs on the National Security Council staff and at the Pentagon

A number of writers have alleged that the United States Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) was involved in the Nicaraguan Contras' cocaine trafficking operations during the 1980s Nicaraguan civil war in efforts to finance the Contra group ... A 1986 investigation by a sub-committee of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (the Kerry Committee), found that "the Contra drug links included", among other connections, "... payments to drug traffickers by the U.S. State Department of funds authorized by the Congress for humanitarian assistance to the Contras, in some cases after the traffickers had been indicted by federal law enforcement agencies on drug charges, in others while traffickers were under active investigation by these same agencies." The charges of CIA involvement in Contra cocaine trafficking were revived in 1996 ... an internal report issued by the CIA would admit that the agency was at least aware of Contra involvement in drug trafficking, and in some cases dissuaded the DEA and other agencies from investigating the Contra supply networks involved.

The Kerry subcommittee did not report that U.S. government officials ran drugs, but rather, that Mr. North, then on the National Security Council staff at the White House, and other senior officials created a privatized contra network that attracted drug traffickers looking for cover for their operations, then turned a blind eye to repeated reports of drug smuggling related to the contras, and actively worked with known drug smugglers such as Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega to assist the contras. The report cited former Drug Enforcement Administration head John Lawn testifying that Mr. North himself had prematurely leaked a DEA undercover operation, jeopardizing agents' lives, for political advantage in an upcoming Congressional vote on aid to the contras
