Scope and content

Letter (2 leaves); fax covering letter (1 leaf). LC cites a New Yorker article (LC/5/2/KIL/20) and defends what appears to be an accusation of plagiarism in 'Killing Floor'. He explains his research and sources and quotes the article by Dannen and Silverman, New Yorker, 23/10/95, pp.50-55. The text in question relates to the position of cash within the economy; the global-political economic dangers; and the technique of printing counterfeit money. "I don't feel vulnerable on this...I went back to many sources for detail...and I don't feel I used any of Dannen and Silverman's language."
