Weird, and I can't believe most of the stuff is true. Anyone ever heard of this sort of thing going on?
He spoke at my advance course graduation. I had a senior officer tell me about the spoon bending.

And yes he is Lee Marvin's brother--he made a joke about his brother's palimony battles when he spoke to us.
