It is also only fair to point out that this version of the story might be dismissed out of hand as being dangerous \"revisionist\" history. If you're not careful, you might end up being called a conspiracy theorist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can also be called crazy--which is what happened to a young lawyer named Phillip Bailley, one of the principal witnesses to this ignored bit of American history. When he was foolish enough to blow the whistle on Rikan and her call girl ring, he was locked up at St. Elizabeth's, the District of Columbia's mental hospital, in the ward for the criminally insane.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor forty years we've only heard the Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein perspective on Watergate. Now we've got the photographs for the revisionist model. What's more, we've got Heidi's little black book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eWhite House Call Girl\u003c\/i\u003e was published last season in an eBook edition only. The paperback edition includes new information on the murder of call girl--and playmate of Vice President Spiro Agnew--Pat Adams. With the help of newly-released FBI documents, we fill in more of the blanks in this long-suppressed story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePhil Stanford is a true crime writer with a special interest in political corruption.
