Summary
This document page, marked as a House Oversight exhibit, appears to be a manuscript draft (likely by Alan Dershowitz) detailing legal work during the Apartheid era. It begins with a quote from 'Woody' (likely Allen) about blacklisting, then recounts the narrator's denied visa to South Africa, collaboration with Irwin Cotler, and secret negotiations with an East German lawyer to exchange client Anatoly Sharansky and potentially Nelson Mandela. It notes Mandela's refusal to be part of a spy swap.
