This account submitted by Special Investigator Johnny Dollar to the tri-Western life insurance company Los Angeles office. Following is an account of expenses incurred during my investigation of the simple Simon matter.

Expense account item one, early the next morning. $180.40 plain fare. The usual prevailing westerly winds didn't prevail, so the flight was even faster than scheduled. And the big jet set down at the LA International Airport well before 11 a.m.
