...Florida, shortly before the March 14 primary, Muskie stationery was used for an unsigned letter, mailed to thousands of Floridians, falsely charging Democratic Candidates Hubert Humphrey and Henry Jackson with sexual misconduct. (Last week a federal grand jury in Orlando indicted Saboteur Segretti, charging him with conspiracy in the mailing.)

At the end he tries to sneak aboard a "foreign freighter" from "northern Europe" but is captured after a fight. This would change a major detail in the story of Lin's attempted defection. The opera says, in effect, that he was intercepted trying to board the aircraft that crashed...
