Bridge of Spies Page #19

His point-of-view: Brooklyn sweeping by. More benign than

was Berlin. His peaceful expression darkens as the train

passes backyards where a group of kinds are climbing a fence,

dropping to the other side... The camera holds on the train

interior, Donovan continuing to gaze out the window...

TITLES:

Following his return to Russia, Rudolf Abel was reunited with

his wife and daughter. He was never publicly acknowledged by

the Soviet Union as a spy.

Gary Powers died in a helicopter crash in 1977, while working

for KNBC News. He was posthumously awarded the CIA

Director’s Medal and the USAF POW Medal in 2000 and the

Silver Star in 2012.

In 1962, Frederic L. Pryor received his Ph.D. in Economics

from Yale University. He is currently professor Emeritus of

Economics and Senior Research Scholar at Swarthmore College.

Following the successful conclusion of the Powers-Abel

exchange, Donovan was asked by President Kennedy to undertake

further negotiations on behalf of the US. In the summer of

1962 he was sent to Cuba to discuss with Fidel Castro terms

to obtain the release of 1,113 prisoners held after the Bay

of Pigs invasion.

When Donovan finished negotiations, he had secured the

release of 9,703 men, women and children.
