Akin Gump Surveillance -- Handwritten Notes Left in Apartment -- 1991

The following are two pages of handwritten notes I left in a prominent place in my apartment based on my paranoid belief that the manager of my apartment building, Elaine Wranik, entered my apartment surreptitiously every morning and reported to Akin Gump managers what she saw.

Even I have to admit that these notes are loony.  They impute a knowledge of psychoanalytic theory to my coworkers that was probably far beyond what, if anything, they had in mind.  I wrote the notes several days before a staff meeting held at Akin Gump on September 11, 1991.
