In reading Novak's brief comments on his role, I remember having the impression that he may have been told Wilson's wife, who worked at the CIA, was involved in his selection. He found out Wilson's wife's name by looking it up in a directory.

Who's Who - by Reed Elsevier. I've heard, but not checked for myself, that it lists one "V. Plame" as his wife, in all editions from 1999 to 2003.

Check your local library for a copy. Most libraries have them dating back several years. Wilson is listed, suprisingly enough, under "Wilson."

Yes, Who's Who. Here's Novak's actual quote:

Once it was determined that Wilson's wife suggested the mission, she could be identified as "Valerie Plame" by reading her husband's entry in "Who's Who in America." Link

Thanks for the other link too.
