We're going to walk out of here, go to Zurich tonight or in the morning, hole up in a hotel, and write a complete account of this, all of it, including Mirror and everything Peterson just told us. We'll make a hundred copies of it and spread them among a hundred attorneys and bank trust departments in ten or twenty countries. With each sealed copy, we'll leave instructions that it be sent to a major newspaper, each copy to a different major newspaper in the even that we're killed-- or in the event that we simply disappear. Then we'll send a copy to Peterson at his real-esate office in Maryland and another to the Director of the CIA, along with notes explaining what we've done.""
