Maxwell had long been something of a public figure before what he refers to as "The Case of the Missing Letter... a Nixonian drama in four acts: preemption, suppression, and cover-up followed by denial" 2004, 1, brought him to far wider attention. Maxwell's review in "Foreign Affairs"' November/December 2003 of Kornbluh's "The Pinochet File" occasioned a letter to "Foreign Affairs" from Rogers; that letter and Maxwell's reply were published in the January/February 2004 issue. Maxwell characterizes Rogers' letter as a "counter review", and claims to have evidence that much of it had circulated previously to Maxwell's own review in "Foreign Affairs", and that allusions to Maxwell's review were simply pasted in so that it would appear more relevant. 2004, 7
