"They don't change. No one's memory is involved here. They are immutable . . . Take them with you to the jury room. Take this machine...
...Paris police had picked up a young Indo-Chinese after a bus fight, found in his possession a top-secret report on Indo-China written by Revers. Police traced the report back to a "double or perhaps triple" informer and onetime embezzler named Roger Peyre, who said he had gotten the report from General Mast.
