Bell took the threat seriously. He told Williams that if Helms would plead nolo contendere (no contest)-in reality an admission of guilt-to the misdemeanors, the Justice Department would support Helms' insistence that his accumulated federal pension rights be protected, and would recommend that he not be imprisoned. This bargain was intended to ensure that no national secrets would be endangered at a trial. At the same time, it would demonstrate that the Carter Administration is in accord with Congress that even CIA chiefs are accountable to both the public...
...senior vice president Edward J. Gerrity--still awaits action by Justice, and a complete account by Helms as government witness rather than defendant might yet salvage a bit of legitimacy for the leniency recently shown him. Given the suspended sentence meted out to Helms and his retention of pension rights despite his no contest plea, such cooperation with the government would furnish some limited evidence that Helms indeed recognizes the gravity of his misdeeds.

The painting in question is Raoul Dufy's "Le Palmier, Pension Sevigne" and the price high in the thousands. There are half-laughs in the lady's party, and they move on to "a more affordable fantasy," a $2,700 Binet. As you walk away toward Copley Square, the gallery looks like a three dimensional version of one of its pictures. There is the same dichotomy between the warm, brightly lit, glass-walled room and you (heading in the falling-dark...
