ANSWERS: Questions of the Week (12/1/2011)

Full background and links here. Selected excerpt:

From non-fiction book [color and bold emphasis added]:

"Around this time we learned that Junior Persico had been placed under punitive detention in prison. He had temporarily lost certain visitation privileges and had thereby lost an important means of communicating with his faction. His female lawyer was seen on a prison video monitor performing oral sex on him. She followed this attorney-client-privileged performance with a love letter. Naturally, we had the tape sent to us for our files in the interest of thoroughness."
