...House Chief of Staff Donald Regan to suggest that he bring Shevardnadze to the Oval Office to deliver it in person. But not until Shevardnadze handed two copies of the letter, in Russian and English, to Reagan and briefly summarized its contents did it become clear that the last paragraph of the missive was one of the most extraordinary in the lengthening annals of White House-Kremlin correspondence. Reagan did not reply immediately; he devoted most of his 45-minute meeting with Shevardnadze to a stern lecture about how angry the U.S. was over Daniloff's arrest...
...rubber snakes, and whatnot -- and he punctuated his pitch Henny Youngman-style: "Talk about a cheap gag. This'll make you gag, Charlie."

Wyeth's disclosure, tucked unobtrusively into the fourth paragraph of the magazine's story, created hardly a ripple. It was exactly a year, and the September 1986 issue of Art & Antiques, before the import of Wyeth's remarks became strikingly clear. The closing of the circle came last April, when Schaire was visiting Pennsylvania for another story and met with Peter Ralston, a photographer and friend of the Wyeths'.
