          "The Process was very sophisticated and dedicated," Berkowitz told me. "They had their hands in a lot of things, including drugs and that disgusting child pornography. They also provided kids for sex to some wealthy people, and I did see some of those people at parties."
          According to Berkowitz, these sex and drug soirees were held at upscale private residences in Westchester, Manhattan, Connecticut and Long Island's Hamptons. His telephone records, which documented calls to the Hamptons and to the Long Island summer homes of two Yonkers doctors, partially supported his statement. Further, two witnesses maintained that occasionally present at these parties were a Yonkers judge, at least two Westchester County politicians, a high-ranking New York state politician, a celebrated but later-murdered physician, a Nobel Prize-winning doctor, and two aides (one prominent) to then-mayor of New York City Abraham Beame.
          Berkowitz also revealed that he met Roy Cohn, the powerful and notorious attorney who once represented—besides numerous other "high society" clients—art dealer Andrew Crispo and the owners of the glamorous but scandal-ridden Studio 54 discotheque.
          "I was at a party at that big house he had in Greenwich [Connecticut]," Berkowitz said of Cohn, who died of AIDS in 1986. "I didn't know him, but other people did, and that's how I went to a party there."
       
    • Involvement in covering up a pedophilic murder at the apartment of Ben Rose
      • Jim Rothstein, "PEDOPHILLIA AND THE CRIMINAL EXPLOITATION OF CHILDREN: A Layman’s look at History"
        • "[...] Because of Ben Rose’s cooperation with investigators, many of the rumors and information under investigation were verified. He informed the New York City Detectives that in November of 1971, three boys, ages 14-15 years, were sexually abused and then murdered in his apartment on East 64th Street in New York City by three men he identified as Dr. Chesky (a surgeon), Leonard Stewart (OPEC), and Tippy Richardson (CIA). The bodies were then transported to Connecticut by car and then buried on a farm. Under the GAFF investigation these murders were to be assigned to other investigators in the New York City Police Department, but then disappeared in the hierarchy of the Department."
        • " During the investigation by the New York State Select Committee on Crime, information was received that Roy Cohn (famed attorney who represented Senator Joe McCarthy at the notorious McCarthy Hearings) helped in covering up the murder and the disposal of the bodies. When Cohn was questioned about the murder of the three 14-15 year old boys at Ben Rose’s apartment, he stated that he was aware of what had happened, but would comment no further. Information at that time was that Cohn was often used to compromise people and, if situations such as those described by Rose occurred, Cohn would take care of them."

          • The Morning Herald (Hagerstown MD), "Firm may build huge oil refinery", 1973/10/23: "Steuart Petroleum Co. is expected to announce plans this week to construct a $160 million refinery in St. Marys County, the Baltimore Evening Sun reported Monday. The refinery would be equipped to process 100,000 barrels of oil a day, the paper said. Leonard Steuart, executive vice president of the Washington, D.C. based firm, declined comment on the reports. Steuart, however, did say that his company would make an important announcement involving St. Marys County on Wednesday. [...] Steuart Petroleum already has asked permission of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to build a 974-foot extension on the company's existing 1,200-foot pierhead at its terminal in St. Marys County. [...] Steuart's deepwater port at Piney Point is used to unload heating oil sold in the Washington area and oil used at the Potomac Electric Power Co.'s generating plant in Morgantown, Md."
          • The Cumberland News, "St. Mary's Co. Will Vote On Oil Refinery", 1974/07/18: "The voters of St. Mary's County go to the polls next week to decide the fate of a controversial $160 million proposed oil refinery for Piney Point. Proponents of the Steuart Petroleum Co's plan to build the refinery point to a recent study which claims that county tax revenue from the facility would top $25 million in the first 10 years, broaden the tax base and ease property taxes. Opponents however, warn that the refinery could produce disastrous results to the area's' ground water level. [...] Steuart Petroleum, a major military fuel supplier in the Washington area, claims that dire predictions are unfounded. The oil firm's vice-president Leonard Stuart said: "We've been trying to dispel the fears that a refinery congers up. It's just a matter of educating the public.""
          • Baltimore Sun, "Half of U.S. oil spills occur near refineries, court told", 1974/11/23: "John M. Rademacher, a witness for the state Water Resources Administration, said the chance of an oil spill is 50 per cent greater when a refinery is put into operation. He was a witness in the last of several suits being heard back-to-back in the St. Marys County Circuit Court concerning the Steuart Petroleum Company's efforts to build an oil refinery at Piney Point on the Potomac River. [...] Testimony by Leonard Stuart, executive vice president of the firm, has placed the cost of the refinery complex at $200 million—an increase of $40 million over year-old estimates. He attributed this to inflation. Mr. Steuart contends that his firm is meeting all standards set by the Environmental Protection Agency and that construction of the refinery would not harm air or water quality. Instead, Mr. Steuart asserts the refinery would benefit St. Marys county by alleviating unemployment. [...] Despite these contentions—which have been made before—St. Marys voters rejected the refinery proposal in a special referendum in July, a month before the county board of commissioners revoked Steuart's building permits. Throughout the trials, expert witnesses called by the Steuart firm noted the severity of the national energy shortage and the need for new refineries, particularly on the East Coast where no new one has been built for 15 years."

Now it is the home heating oil customer's turn to pay more promptly. Steuart Petroleum Co., an independent wholesaler that supplies many Wasington fuel dealers, has notified its customers that oil delivered during the first 15 days of each month must be paid for by the end of the month. Purchases during the last half of the month are due by the 15th of the following month. Steuart used to give its customers at least 30 days to pay their bills, but demanded more prompt payment after it suppliers did the same, said President Leonard Steuart."
