I find it disturbing that this all came out long after it was known, how many agents were compromised by blackmailers.
This FACT that you bring up goes with no notice by the press or anyone. The affair was known since mid summer (I have read anywhere from late June to early July items on it)

And it is very disturbing that the CIA head having an affair would be covered up as it was.
