Is Howard Hughes Legit?

In 1969 Esquire magazine, they publish what they called footage of Hughes. It was just a grainy image of a man in a bathrobe talking on the phone. They have to admit later it's fake. So Irving goes to his editor, Beverly Liu, and says, look, I scored an authorized Howard Hughes book. That was the first note from Howard Hughes legit? No. He just sends it off. Never hears.
