sultant to major corporations educational
institutions and law enforcement training
facilities" it stated.
The book Pistone has written was
published in 1988 and was a best seller
according to the brochure.
Pistone's coming b "a great change of
pee from previous years when we had
journalists and entertainers" said Doug
