I've got a couple of David St John numbers. I'll give them a
go.

Yes, I've seen this stuff, too. I also read that the fake
names of the Watergate guys were taken from Hunt's novels.
Funny how cutting James Atlee Phillips is about all this kind
of thing, when one would imagine that at least some of the
information came from his brother. James' son is, bizarrely
enough, famous in his own right as a rock musician, Shawn
Phillips (was on the cover of Rolling Stone in the 70s, I
think). There's a bit about his fatheron Shawn's website,
drawn from an early autobiographical piece, in which he
claims the CIA offered him money to paint enemies in a poor
light and American agents as fine and noble. He turned them
down (clearly), but there is an allegation that Edward Aarons
didn't. Apologies if this has already been posted - again, I
found out a lot about these writers from perusing this list's
archives. Jeremy
