...Casey, who had not told the White House about Yurchenko's disappearance over the weekend, quickly called Chief of Staff Donald Regan, who in turn told the President. Reagan apparently showed little emotion, but others in the West Wing gathered in front of televisions to watch CNN's live broadcast of the conference. What they saw for the next hour was one of the most amazing public performances ever to emerge from the foggy world of spy intrigue...

Kaltenborn, who was causing too much trouble with his anti-Hitler broadcasts. In the middle of lunch, Fisher told "H.V." he was through.
