Happily, it is becoming harder for these criminals to profit from their misdeeds. Fifteen states, including New Jersey last week, have adopted so-called Son of Sam laws, named for Multiple Murderer David Berkowitz, which lock up proceeds from books and other ventures to satisfy claims by victims or their survivors.

On several occasions, the camera's frame casually includes remainders of the characters' longing for times past. As James Daily talks on the phone in his office, he glances out his window to watch young students playing basketball; when Sirkowski exercises in his office, he watches a baseball game...
...While working as an economist at NATO's Paris headquarters from 1956 to 1961, he allegedly gave the Soviets copies of more than 80 NATO documents carrying the "cosmic" designation, NATO'S highest security classification.
