The matter certainly does not rise to the importance of whether or not the Apollo moon landing was or was not made on a Hollywood set, and I guess I will have to content myself with the fact that no one really knows. However, while the truth may be lost to time and I can go to my grave without resolution of the issue, I simply doubt it was an inadvertence.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="color:#3333ff">Best--Michael Oritt</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sat, Oct 20, 2018 at 12:49 PM J.
