On the cover of the file was stenciled WILDFIRE, and underneath, an ominous note: THIS FILE IS CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET. Examination by unauthorized persons is a criminal offense punishable by fines and imprisonment up to 20 years and $20,000. When Leavitt gave him the file, Hall had read the note and whistled. “Don’t you believe it,” Leavitt said. “Just a scare?” “Scare, hell,” Leavitt said. “If the wrong man reads this file, he just disappears.” “Nice.”
