None of her children - all professionals - have any doubts about Adele's story. Nor do I, from extensive email contacts with her over many years. She was impeccably honest and of the highest level of command of her mental faculties. She never sought fame or money from her experience.
Peter,
I am in complete agreement with each point you have posted. I am convinced Adele was sincere. I had hoped to shame CBS 60 Minutes retired producer married to Rivera's nephew to at least respond...
Her fellow former CBS 60 minutes producer is still active and is Kyra Darnton, the daughter of the man who administers the Polk award. The only effect I think I accomplished was influencing Kyra Darnton to drop the nephew's wife as an FB friend.....

to interview her colleague, Merri, and Merri's facebook bud who is a first cousin of her husband Carlos Aldunate, Col. Jose Rivers'a daughter Linda Rivera King. Maybe Kyra's mother-in-law will be persuaded to approve a book deal for Adele Edisen !

Grann to Retire
May 23, 2011
Phyllis Grann will end more than 40 years in the publishing business June 9 when she retires from her role as senior editor at the Doubleday division of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group. Grann joined Doubleday in 2002 after stepping down as the CEO of Penguin Putnam in 2001.
She rose to the top at Penguin following its acquisition of Putnam Berkley where she had been president, chairman and CEO. Before leaving Penguin, Grann was responsible for publishing, and in some cases editing, such international bestselling authors as Tom Clancy, Patricia Cornwell, Sue Grafton, A. Scott Berg, Kurt Vonnegut, Daniel Silva, John McEnroe and Judy Blume. At Doubleday, Grann acquired and edited such writers as Jeffrey Toobin, Tina Brown, Bob Herbert, Jim Newton, Ayelet Waldman and Tim Weiner, winner of the National Book Award. She also edited Stephen Carter and John Darnton for Knopf. According to Knopf chairman Sonny Mehta, Grann will be available to the house as a consultant and freelance editor, continuing to work with her authors under contract.

The observation that Dr. Col. Rivera's daughter remains nonplussed about Adele Edisen's claims against her father to the point of leaving public access to her Facebook profile family photos of Dr. Col. Rivera, her own friends list, including the name of the CBS 60 Minutes producer, and that producer
leaving her own FB friends list public with Linda Rivera King's name included, seems confirmation that Edisen has not been forceful enough.https://twitter.com/tjscully/status/225228073866498048
Col. Jose A. Rivera accused in this letter, sent to the HSCA, in 1976. He was cleared, when? https://pbs.twimg.com/media/AyArvWiCEAAGuZe.jpg
Shortly after I sent this tweet to Kyra Darnton, she no longer had the 60 Minutes producer on her (Kyra's) FB friend's list.:
