Watching the Detectives

In 1987 I worked for a now defunct local newscast. In this report, I went out to interview the detectives who advertised in the yellow pages of the L.A. phone book... just to compare real life to TV fiction. One of the P.I.s who agreed to be interviewd turned out to be the young Anthony Pellicano who was indicted in February 2006 on 110 counts of racketeering, wiretapping,witness tampering and conspiracy.He's the one who was wiretapping Nicole Kidman, Garry Shandling and Kevin Nealon, among others.
