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.

This is the first I've heard of it. It hasn't gotten much attention.
