Their business took only thirty minutes more this day, and as they dispersed to their individual offices, Cromwell looked at the situation that had come up. He felt ill at ease about Trenary—about the man's fitness for command. He'd have to talk with the surgeon general about him.

Meanwhile he wished he'd thought to ask Trenary where he'd gotten his information about the CIA and Blackburn. But Trenary, in his overreactive way, had made valid points. While as for himself—perhaps he'd underreacted.

No, he said inwardly, don't go into that self-questioning bullshit. You'd noticed it and you'd filed it; that's all you can do. That and ask the president about it when he gets back.

Cromwell sat down at his desk. He'd just reached for his IN basket when it hit him, the point that somehow he'd overlooked before. The others had too, perhaps because they hadn't looked beyond the seeming unlikelihood that there'd really been a big breakthrough. If the United States, say the NSA, had some revolutionary new technology in the wings, ready for release—if there really was such a thing... The president had said he was going to release it all over the world! China, Japan, Poland! The Soviets would have it inside of a month—hell, inside a week—if he did that!
