Two questions from my wife, who actually watched the segments:

1) The woman didn't appear to her to be anywhere within twenty years of 86 years old -- has anyone verified that this is actually Killian's secretary?

2) She recalls Knox saying that Killian didn't believe that Bush was fit to be governor; wasn't Bush elected governor after both Killian and Knox were out of the TANG, and if so, how did they happen to have this conversation?

I read somewhere that Killian's son says he remembers Knox working for his father, sorry no link (it was probably on Drudge somewhere)

That was the first thing that stuck me about her as well.

I couldn't find any reference to that in the version on CBS' web site. Can anyone confirm such a mention (which I think would prove senility more than malfeasance on Knox' part.) If so, the fact that Killian died in 1984, while Bush was elected Governor on November 8, 1994, would prove one or the other. (Were they really talking about Bush for Governor by 1984? Also, I think Knox retired in 1979.)

This one's interesting because Killian died in 1984. Bush became governor of Texas in 1994, ten years later. Hmmmmm...
