At the time of this writing, Sorkin was either in Beverly Hills or Hazeldon for crack addiction.
Otherwise he certainly would have written a di"erent letter.
He was saved from self-incrimination at the Union because this letter was not introduced.
If it was introduced, it was never disclosed to the original writers or their attorneys.
