Christopher Boyce, whose Cold War spying was immortalized in the book and film "The Falcon and the Snowman," was released from prison Friday after more than 25 years. He will be on parole until 2046, his soriginal release date.
Boyce was 22 when he smuggled CIA communication documents to the Russians that he obtained while working for TRW.

Wilso, I tried to find the article in my local paper and the Associated Press without success. So I just sumarized the news in my post.

So what are the Americans thinking about this?
This is the first I've heard of it. It hasn't gotten much attention.
Nothing much has except George's war and Elizabeth Smart (girl found after being kidnapped 9 months ago).
We had a lot of that one too.
Amazing story and getting amazinger - perhaps it pushed Michael Jackson stories off the pages thank god.
