The column then shifts to Las Vegas gossip, recounting conflicting reports about Howard Hughes’s health, wealth, and possible court-ordered medical examination to resolve control of his $2 billion empire.
The ailing Howard Hughes is said to live in the Desert Inn penthouse under the care of a six-man inner circle including Maheu and Gay. Disputes within the group have flared into power struggles over his multi million dollar lawsuit and potential move to the Bahamas, with claims he is a near prisoner or free to travel, depending on faction.

A reflective family chronicle recounts the Frechette clan led by Dave, detailing Virginia Lee’s upcoming eighth child, Amy’s age four, and obstetrician Dr. Albert Higdon's onstage bow.
