[78-L] NIXON LAWYER LEONARD GARMENT OBIT

[Taylor Bowie]

Garment's autobio is well worth reading...esp. for people like me who are 
musical AND political junkies...that Jerome band must have been a blast to 
play in...a lot of pot heads,  according to Len.  Alan Greenspan even then 
was a serious guy,  spending a lot of time studying economics when not on 
the stand.
