And poor Irmgard. She now lusts after He<strong>in</strong>i’s brother but cannot get at him. He will be com<strong>in</strong>g toWash<strong>in</strong>gton (as my guest, of course) <strong>in</strong> a week so Irmgard can get her battery recharged. I will put both ofthem up at a hotel so we won’t have to bother with their mat<strong>in</strong>g rituals.And good news! Truman will come!Now all we have to do is fix the date, buy the meat and vegetables, polish the armor and hire sometemporary servants.I want to be careful not to appear too rich or the President might get jealous but a good showmight impress him. I have stressed to him my own humble orig<strong>in</strong>s, as compared with the Dulles brothers,and I know it hits a po<strong>in</strong>t with him.I th<strong>in</strong>k we will sit ten to table. <strong>The</strong>re might be one more but I like even numbers and I am toldTruman is somewhat superstitious and doesn’t want thirteen. I do not want to <strong>in</strong>vite Clifford. He does notlike me after the wig bus<strong>in</strong>ess and he would monopolize every conversation throughout the even<strong>in</strong>g.Hoover would be out. He would no doubt want tomato ketchup at the table with paper napk<strong>in</strong>s and grapejuice.Enough of this.I am expect<strong>in</strong>g another shipment of draw<strong>in</strong>gs tomorrow and I want to get up early enough to walkMaxl and be here just as they arrive. I alone get to open the boxes and only safely upstairs.This place is beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g to look like Hearst owned it! Still, better to have too much than notenough!Thursday, 4 May 1950Every so often, one plants a seed and then forgets about it. Actually, doesn’t forget about it but itgets pushed to the bottom of the pile. A little earlier, I had the acute pleasure <strong>in</strong> see<strong>in</strong>g one of my smallacorns suddenly sprout <strong>in</strong>to a massive oak tree! It started early <strong>in</strong> the morn<strong>in</strong>g when Angleton called me <strong>in</strong>some agitation and said he simply had to see me at once. As he knows full well who I am and where I live,I told him f<strong>in</strong>ally to come over. He said he would walk, not be<strong>in</strong>g that far from here, but from the look onhis face, I would rather thought he had run over.He had not yet been <strong>in</strong>side the house and he was greatly impressed with the nice th<strong>in</strong>gs I have onthe first floor. Such a nervous, pale and very obviously distraught man he was. <strong>The</strong>n I took him <strong>in</strong>to mylibrary with all the Cather<strong>in</strong>e the Great items (from her palace) about and asked him to sit down. I turnedon the record<strong>in</strong>g device by the simple expedient of open<strong>in</strong>g a desk drawer and asked him what I could dofor him.Although badly frightened, he managed to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> his sly demeanor...at least up to a po<strong>in</strong>t. Heasked me if I had ever heard of a Brontös Karlsefni! <strong>The</strong> oak had grown at last! I said that I certa<strong>in</strong>lyrecognized the name. What did my honored guest want to know about this man?What could I tell him about this man?What did he himself know?Brontös Karlsefni, accord<strong>in</strong>g to our subsequent conversation, was an Icelander from an old Norsefamily. He had lived <strong>in</strong> various countries and had done <strong>in</strong>telligence work for a number of these countries,<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g Germany. Yes, I cautiously acknowledged, I had used this man’s services <strong>in</strong> the past.Angleton then went straight to the po<strong>in</strong>t, that is how badly rattled he was. Normally, he wouldwander around mak<strong>in</strong>g sly, oblique remarks that would mask his ignorance and give him the impression ofknow<strong>in</strong>g everyth<strong>in</strong>g. In this case, it was I who knew everyth<strong>in</strong>g but he didn’t know that.It comes down to the fact that Angleton, and others at the <strong>CIA</strong>, have heard that this man, whomight be work<strong>in</strong>g for the NKVD, had amassed considerable <strong>in</strong>formation on many OSS people and, ofcourse, of many <strong>CIA</strong> people. Angleton heard that Karlsefni might be try<strong>in</strong>g to sell his papers here <strong>in</strong> theUnited States but he did not know to whom. S<strong>in</strong>ce I had known K. “<strong>in</strong> my previous life” (as if I were thevictim of re<strong>in</strong>carnation) A. wanted to know if I had heard from K. If I had not, did I know how to contacthim?I would have absolutely no problem whatsoever <strong>in</strong> gett<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to contact with the elusive Karlsefnibecause I am Karlsefni! I <strong>in</strong>vented this man many years ago as a cat’s-paw or a straw man upon whom Ican blame many th<strong>in</strong>gs. I at once told A. that if he would wait a moment, I would get a file.I didn’t even have to go to the w<strong>in</strong>e cellar and with<strong>in</strong> five m<strong>in</strong>utes, I was back aga<strong>in</strong>, just <strong>in</strong> timeto catch Angleton attempt<strong>in</strong>g to get <strong>in</strong>to my desk. He pretended he was look<strong>in</strong>g at my silver-framed pictureof Bunny (whom he knows socially) and we all went on with the theater.He looked at the file and went as white as my handkerchief. “Oh, my God, we are all f<strong>in</strong>ished!” hekept say<strong>in</strong>g.
