“Comme l'océan, le mensonge avait-il un fond sablonneux qu'on ne pouvait franchir ? Elle se recroquevilla, silencieuse. Une fois sur la nationale 20, Franck lui attrapa la main gauche d'un geste débordant de tendresse.
- Quand l'enquête se tassera et que tout ça sera terminé, j'aimerais que tu fasses quelque chose pour moi.
- Quoi ?
- M'épouser.”

“In 1973, the CIA, informed that reporters were sniffing around their affairs, had destroyed all the files concerning Project MK-Ultra. But the CIA is, above all, an enormous bureaucracy. Joseph Rauth was convinced that some traces had to remain of such an important project, which had extended over twenty-five years and involved dozens of directors and a staff of thousands. Under the auspices of the Rockefeller Commission, we were authorized access to documents or other materials relating to research into mind control. We hired an ex-CIA operative named Frank Macley to look into it. After several weeks of investigation, he confirmed that most of the files had been destroyed by two high-ranking officials: CIA Director Samuel Neels and one of his close associates, Michael Brown. But through his persistence, Macley unearthed seven huge crates of documents relating to MK-Ultra at the Agency’s records storage facility. Crates that had gotten lost in the administrative labyrinth.”
