And one afternoon, checking in with the Soviet Committee for Cultural Relations with Foreign Nations, he was told: "No need to take off your coat." Why not?

When he noticed that Dugan was following him, he said, he stopped his car and got out. Dugan parked, came toward him with his hand in his trench-coat pocket.
