...typed pages--about eighty thousand words, or the size of an average novel--that, covering a period of only about five minutes, recaptured every move, gesture and word uttered in a long, and largely pointless, conversation designed to get Eliza Gant from the kitchen of her house into a car waiting in front, so that she, Luke, and Eugene could take a short ride...

Within the embassy, secretaries have been forbidden to use any machine that emits electronic signals, including electric typewriters and word processors. Even the Xerox machine has been shut down. Shultz has already asked Congress for a special $25 million appropriation to replace the security systems for the embassies in Moscow and Vienna, where Lonetree also worked...
