What does the scan show?
A person reads every report. Corrections are made by hand, to the data — titles, dates, names, which pages belong together — never to the scans, and they can take a while to appear.

Walt Evans
Novel on D.B. Cooper, for the jet set
LITERARY TIMES: When the frost is on the pumpkin, thoughts just naturally turn to D.B. Cooper, the non- pariel skyjacker who parachuted into immortality, if not a Douglas fir, five years ago this Thanksgiving Eve. What will undoubtedly be one of the best books—because it's being done by one of the best writers I knew — to come out of the incident will be "King of the Midnight Blue," by Seattleite Darrell Bob Hous- ton. And before you ask, the D. B. initials are just coin- cidence. Our D.B. is much too tall for the skyjacker. Houston's novel based on the incident comes out Novem- ber 3. "I wrote it as an in- flight movie," he quipped. So far there have been a couple of nibbles from the movie folk and Darrell Bob figures it should sell, since "it's three parts sex to one part skyjack." Houston is dickering for the film rights. He's asking $200,000 . . . in 20s and four parachutes. The accompanying picture of D.B. (Ours) was taken when he was covering the war in Vietnam. But it does look like a paratrooper's helmet. Hmmmmmm . .
