...Nadia reminds me of my father and in that sense she reminds me of me. My father spent his career fighting the Cold War, he joined the army when he was 19, went to Vietnam. His whole life was shaped by that arc in American politics. He's exceptionally liberal but in the military, but is a humanitarian and patriot who believes in humane intervention, in helping, that's what you do. Nadia is a person not afraid to say 'I care about the world to do something, and I care enough to be ostracized.' She's very much alone...

That's a crucial development because the recent stagnation in print-ad revenue has been aggravated by the industry's archaic sales system, which has made it difficult for small businesses...
...read material and talked to people and spent time with ex-agents. We had Milt Bearden, who was our technical consultant. He was at the CIA for 30 years. He was very, very helpful. I'd say, I need something for this scene that will help make it a little more specific and not so general - details of something. When the hair falls out of the book [indicating it had been opened], that was Milt...
