BTW - I keep prefacing everything I say with the caveat of "my understanding is" (which I realize can be pretty annoying after a while) simply because some of this is material that was related to me in off-the-record fashion by various sources; there may be some 'holes' in my understanding/recollection, and it's always possible that some of the off-the-record information was not 100% accurate to begin with.
