The Stephens' story would seem to fall apart--according to Heric's narrative--when they claim knowledge that there was contact between Baker and a would-be informant back in the 1960s. Also, I did not understand that Aetna's merger would not have contained their accrued rights over the years...and heric indicates it had no bearing on the case.

I'm going to try to find more info on this for a presentation to my stamp club in July or August.
