...Catcher. Spearheading the drive against Mischa's network of agents is Richard Meier, 49, head of the Bundesamt für Verfassungsschutz (literally, Federal Office for Protecting the Constitution), West Germany's counterintelligence agency. A dogged, professional spy catcher, Meier reduced harmful frictions between his agency and state police departments, and with West Germany's equivalent of the FBI.

Don made a scouting trip with Meier to the Dominican Republic, where the government greeted them like potentates and laid on a heavy military escort. Later, White House Detective John Caulfield wrote a memo to Presidential Counsel John W. Dean III warning that Don had gone to the Dominican Republic with "a small group of wheeler-dealers" who were connected with Hughes. The results of the mission remain, like most...
