Just as Daniloff was getting sprung from Lefortovo, U.S. marshals in New York City, where it was early afternoon, escorted Gennadi Zakharov from the Metropolitan Correctional Center to a Brooklyn federal courtroom for a hearing that took all of three minutes. The Soviet U.N. employee stood ramrod- straight and stone-faced as Judge Joseph McLaughlin read the espionage charges against him. Zakharov said only, "Not guilty."

Sazhenev rode one of the Mercedes to the new airstrip, where 126 occupants of the Soviet embassy were to board a U.S. military C-130 transport, a bizarre diplomatic clash occurred. U.S. soldiers insisted on searching the car. "We're looking for bombs," an American officer disingenuously explained. The ambassador grumpily assented.
