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 ;-) {hplabs,ptsfa,pacbell,ucbvax}!well!jpalmer Jim Palmer, not in JOCKEY shorts Admirers of laws or sausages are advised to avoid witnessing either's creation.
