Scope and Contents

They talk about one of their friends who often tells people about the invention of television, and her experience hearing the same story from a husband of a friend because his family had been doing reporting in North Hollywood at the time.
They talk a little bit about how they believe Phil may have been targeted a little bit by the RFC, which was a government agency that refused to help give money to Farnsworth after World War II.
They talk a little about RCA's offer to buy out Farnsworth and the discrepancy in what different people believed that RCA offered, some claiming that it was as high as one million dollars, which Pem disputes.
