^The novel refers to her as Judy Exner in events taking place as early as 1960 though she was then divorced from actor William Campbell and used his surname. She did not marry Dan Exner until the 1970s.
This is in keeping with the author's practice of using consistent names for people or organizations whose historical names changed over time like the KGB for the organization since it was at various times known as the Cheka, GPU, OGPU, NKVD, NKGB, MGB, and finally KGB).
