He had worked, he claimed, with such unheralded British spies as Novelist Graham Greene ("he worked in intelligence") and the late Ian Fleming ("he was aide to the director of naval intelligence"). Furthermore, Fleming's James Bond "had an easy time of it: Bond's only worries were gay holidays and amorous intrigues."
