On Dave's relationship with Leno, this passage is from a Bill Zehme profile of Dave in 2000: Letterman has told certain intimates that ever since their early club tenure, he has been leery of Leno's consummate politicking. According to one, "Dave says that even when Jay was a nobody, he wanted to destroy everyone else." http://www.esquire.com/features/daveheart-letterman-0500 Gary
