Excellent NYT expose about the 1960s CIA caper in the Himalayas

I remember reading the 1978 Outside magazine, and saying "HOLY SHIT."  Over the years, I read all of the books cited, as well as all that was written over the years, in the climbing community.  I always assumed a block-buster novel or a big budget Hollywood film would build on this story line.
