Interestingly, the Donovan story told in Spielberg’ s “Bridge of Spies” touches on Q drops about Bridge and Backstory:
Donovan receives a letter from East Germany, purportedly sent by Abel’s wife, thanking him and urging him to get in contact with their lawyer, whose name is Vogel. The CIA think this is a BACK-CHANNEL message hinting that the USSR is willing to swap Powers for Abel. They unofficially ask Donovan to go to Berlin to negotiate the exchange; he arrives just as the Berlin Wall is going up.
The exchange of Powers and Abel takes place at the Glienicke BRIDGE, with Pryor to be released simultaneously at Checkpoint Charlie.
Is it too far a reach to wonder if Spielberg’s name will be in the news soon?
Probably not to far of a reach but if Spielberg becomes a news item it will probably be for some unmentionable Hollywood incident.
