Excellent post, Steve. Thanks for the reminder about this info. Mailer's book is really underappreciated for its level of new details.

"It's a Small World" Factoid: On 29 November 1956, evidently while on her way home from Moscow, Priscilla Johnson checked in with Army Major Alexander Sogolow in Frankfurt. Sogolow was Chief of CIA's SR/10 (Soviet Russia Division's Branch 10) which interviewed American "legal travelers" to the USSR as they were coming and going. Interestingly, Sogolow was a KGB "mole" and was the CIA's boss of another "mole," Golitsyn's SASHA / Sasha, Igor Orlov, aka Alexander "Sasha" Kopatzky, who was "uncovered" four years after he'd retired from the Agency by probable mole Bruce Leonard Solie (look him up) based on a "hot tip" from Kremlin-loyal triple agent KGB Major Igor Kochnov. Sogolow confessed and wasn't prosecuted because he allowed himself to be "played back" against the KGB.

When Golitsyn was being exfiltrated from Helsinki by the CIA on 15 December 1961, his plane was diverted to Frankfurt either intentionally so Golitsyn could be debriefed and have his bona fides assessed or due to bad weather. Golitsyn freaked out and told one of his escorts that he was afraid he'd be assassinated by SASHA / Sasha in Frankfurt, and the escort unwisely sent an unlimited-distribution cable to CIA to that effect. Orlov / Kopatzky got wind of the cable in Washington and sent a letter to CIA headquarters saying Sogolow was a "mole."

I say SASHA / Sasha because Golitsyn mistakenly believed Kopatzky's codename was SASHA when in reality it was his nickname. (The nickname for Alexandr in Slavic countries is "Sasha.")

One can only wonder what Sogolow and Priscilla spoke about . .  .

Zeon Mason:
Maybe there’s something here with this KGB angle that Tom is delving into which is more than what the WC was willing to reveal.

So why was “Mexico Man” (= Pro KGB assassin) sent?  Was Oswald  to facilitate helping this guy enter USA or was the KGB guy coming to STOP Oswafd from carrying on with an earlier directive from KGB that was given during the 62 Cuban Missile crisis, which order had been removed after the diplomatic resolution of the crisis.

Perhaps the KGB were worried their Marxist American Oswald puppet might ignore the new stand down order and on his own carry out the previous terminate JFK order which was no longer necessary. Kruschev got such a  good deal from JFK in resolving the 62 crisis that Kruschev considered JFK a US President that the USSR could work with towards establishing a less hostile stance with regard to use of nuclear weapons. It was essentially the beginning  of the MAD doctrine.

What makes you think the burly "Mexico City Mystery Man" was 1) a pro-KGB assassin, and 2) sent?
