  well-known historical and public figures, are products of the author’s imagination and are not to be
  construed as real. Where real-life historical or public figures appear, the situations, incidents, and
  dialogues concerning those persons are fictional and are not intended to depict actual events or to
  change the fictional nature of the work. In all other respects, any resemblance to persons living or
  dead is entirely coincidental.
