The president of [the California] Public Utilities Commission, Dick Sklar, former ambassador to the UN, had an office [in the same area as] [the author of this note] [in San Fran]. [The] east walls looked down onto the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals building. Dick Sklar's claim to fame- the source of his wealth- was the invention and manufacture of the high frequency /ultrasonic chisels used to demolish concrete structures. During the Democrat Party conventions of 1984, 88, 92, 96 Sklar could be seen moving around on the platform whispering into ears of people. He controlled the Democrat party. Anyway, a very frequent visitor to Sklar was Ambassador John Bolton.
