...little information as possible. In a series of briefings, then CIA Director William Colby confided to reporters that the U.S. had used a large vessel, reportedly built for Howard Hughes, to try to retrieve a 1961-vintage Soviet submarine that had sunk northwest of Hawaii. Unfortunately, the Golf-class sub cracked apart as it was being hoisted. Only the forward third was recovered. Colby did not say what it contained, but any knowledgeable person would expect that it housed torpedoes and perhaps other valuable materials. The mid-and aft sections, containing the far more important nuclear missiles and code room...
...Rodriguez (TIME, Dec. 6). As the first of Glomar's some 200 crewmen to speak, Rodriguez provided previously unknown touches about shipboard life (filet mignon was standard fare; Deep Throat was the favorite flick). Rodriguez's most significant hint, however, was that Glomar retrieved the entire Soviet sub. TIME checked out Rodriguez's suggestion with a number of Pentagon experts, who appeared to confirm it.

Hersh named as chief sources two brothers: Wayne Collier, 33, who worked as CIA recruiter for the crew, and his younger brother Bill, hired by Wayne as a cutting-torch handler.

...audience inside, sheltered from the sub-zero wind-chill cold that the protesters endured, didn't seem to believe that, though. Most politely applauded Colby when he finished. They listened patiently when he explained the necessity for gathering information about other countries. They did not offer dissent when he said that he tried to reform the CIA in 1973, before the sensational revelations about assassinations of foreign leaders, deals with Mafia hit-men, domestic spying...
