WASHINGTON, D.C.
"But why? Why are they doing this?" the President demanded.
"We simply do not know, sir." The Director of Central Intelligence was clearly uncomfortable with the question. "We know that this Kremlin Bomb Plot was a complete fabrication-"
"Did you see what the Post said this morning? The press says that this guy Falken has 'agency' or its German equivalent written all over him."
"Mr. President, the truth of the matter is that Herr Falken was almost certainly a Soviet sleeper agent under KGB control. The Germans have been unable to uncover very much about him. It's as though he just sprang into being thirteen years ago, and he's been quietly running his import-export business for the last twelve years. Sir, every indication we have is that the Soviets are prepared for an attack against NATO. There is no indication, for example, that they are demobilizing their conscripts who are at the end of their enlistment periods, nor any evidence of preparations for the new 'class' of conscripts that should have begun to arrive several days ago. Finally, there's the case of this Spetznaz major the Germans picked up. He was infiltrated into the Federal Republic before the bomb plot, with orders to attack a NATO communications base. As to why-Mr. President, we simply do not know. We can describe what the Russians are doing but not the reason for it."

Astronaut Candidate Land Survival Training
JSC2013-E-078098 (26-28 Aug. 2013) --- As the first phase of their extensive training program along the way to become full-fledged astronauts, eight new candidates spent three days in the wild participating in their land survival training, near Rangeley, Maine. They took a brief breather along the way to pose for a group portrait with instructors, trainers and other participants (seen on the back row) in the training. On the front row, from left to right, are Tyler N. (Nick) Hague, Jessica U. Meir, Josh A. Cassada, Nicole A. Mann, Andrew R. Morgan, Christina M. Hammock, Anne C. McClain and Victor J. Glover.
