Miller demanded $50,000 in gold; Wolfson agreed...
...legal-size envelope in a parked car in a darkened lot. Days later they observed him transferring a briefcase from the trunk of her car to his. Wiretaps revealed that Miller had agreed to fly to Vienna with Svetlana on Oct. 9 to meet with a high-level KGB official and that he had already secured his passport, she their tickets.
