...deepest pleasure lies in the enigma of motivation. Its true that Hanssen made a fair amount of money from the Soviets, but that does not seem to be what's driving him. He just goes on living a modest middle-class existence. Nor does he bear any resemblance to certain Cold War-era spies, who served communist ideology out of some sort of (misplaced) idealism. It was rather the opposite with him. Slowly, it steals across you that he was acting out of the desire to prove just how smart he was, how superior he was to his, well, superiors...

...Today, Kindernöte runs a dozen different groups for several hundred children. Every week, they play soccer, go on field trips together, help each other with homework or just throw a party.

Your "Rolex" might keep ticking for a year or two, but then again it might stop after a few days. And those "Timberland" boots? Well, I needed a pair to get through Beijing's fearsome winter so I went down to the Silk Market, one of the emporiums of fakery. For $15, I picked up a pair of solid-looking work boots bearing a famous label. A few months later, I am still wearing the boots. Much...

He's able to do this largely because his teddy-bear sensitivity defies every stereotype of his profession.
