...Secret Agent. At first, accidental drowning seemed the most likely explanation, despite Stonehouse's prowess as a swimmer. But in the weeks since his disappearance, assorted rumors have turned the case into a riveting political whodunit. Some have claimed that Stonehouse was a secret CIA agent; others have suggested Mafia connections. Last week a Czech spy defector named Josip Frolik, who now lives in the U.S. under an assumed name, said that Stonehouse-who was widely known to be a rabid anti-Communist-was in fact a fellow secret agent.

Naturally the Chileans are demanding hearings to see if their arrest-expulsions pass the new test. Some also claim that their government tortured them with the knowledge and agreement of U.S. agents and that information gained by torture is being used as evidence against them. The agents deny any such thing, and so far, in every case, they have been upheld. To date, eight Chileans have been convicted or have pleaded guilty, and two were acquitted or cleared of the original charges. The other six wait in the federal jail, convinced that whether or not they were drug smugglers, they...
