1983 was a great year for America. In 1983, President Reagan found what President Nixon had been looking for. The stock market began a historic bull run, and a thousand students were rescued from Grenada before being taken hostage by a new Communist regime. But it was a lousy year for me. I'd been framed for an arson by the same crowd that had tried to kill me in 1970. I should never have gotten mixed up with them. But in the long run, it's a good thing that I did. Let me tell you how all of this "teflon" happened. And while I'm at it, I'll tell you some of the things I learned about drugs and gambling and homosexuality and suicide and the "cultural revolution" and the Mafia Commission and the Vietnam war and how Communism nearly took over America. It's an adventure that I'm ashamed of, but I can't help being proud of having been part of something so historic, so important, so BIG! Join me in this adventure, and America will never look the same to you.
