Primary Evidence

"In early October 2011, the Japanese restaurant “Keizuki,” which has been operating in the Silicon Valley on the West Coast of the USA, was about to close. That day, the restaurant was bustling with customers wanting to have their last meal at Keizuki, but by 9 PM, there was a little respite. It was then that I received a request to “write an article about Jobs.”"

"Strange Folks Came Along “Can we book the whole place for dinner on November 8th?” This was the call I received from Apple’s representative, some time in the fall of 2006. On that day, Apple was scheduled to hold a board meeting at their headquarters in Cupertino, California. They wanted to host a dinner for directors and executive employees in the evening and were inquiring if they could use “Keizuki” as the venue. By that time, Apple’s CEO, Steve Jobs, had started visiting Keizuki regularly. However, I had never consulted with Steve directly about the board dinner."
