from _The San Francisco Chronicle_, Monday March 12, 1990,
quoted from Herb Caen's column:
"...Kind of scary: At around 8 a.m. on the day Pres. Bush spoke at the
Commonwealth Club, Phyllis Sherman phoned the S.F. Hilton to find out
the closest Muni stop [public transit], figuring it would be
impossible to drive there. Although she gave neither her name nor
phone number, she got a phone call at 9:30 a.m. from a Secret Service
agent who addressed her by name and asked 'What was the nature of your
call?' He accepted her explanation, adding, 'Sorry, but we're
checking out something I can't discuss.' Now that's almost as
intriguing as the eavesdropping. Pardon. Surveillance ..." [endquote]
Boggles the mind. Any guesses as to how it was done? ANI to the ^Nth!
But why was an hour and a half needed before followup?
P.S. For the SecServ: I'm clean, just curious. Really, I am, check the
files ;-)
