...fact that the crime literally never got off the ground underlined the harshness of the verdicts. According to official Soviet accounts, the defendants plotted to commandeer a single-engine AN2 in Leningrad last June 15, fly it to the Swedish town of Boden and ask for asylum in Israel. Many Sovietologists suspect that the eleven walked into a trap prepared by the KGB, the Soviet secret police. For one thing, they were arrested before they even set foot aboard the plane. Within an hour after their arrest, 40 Jewish homes from Riga to distant Kharkov were ransacked by policemen with...
...pact is hard to enforce if anyone really wants to circumvent it; Boden-hausen's organization has no legal weapons against transgressors, simply passes along complaints to governments involved. Any member of the pact can unilaterally exempt specific products from patent protection; Italy has done so with Pharmaceuticals, thus enabling Italian firms to copy the world's new drugs as fast as they are invented.

Wages of Sin. With another of the defendants, Enbom even worked out a Trojan-horse plan for Communist seizure of Sweden's Boden fortress, a vast underground installation astride the invasion route from Finland. If war seemed imminent, loyal Communists were to be introduced into the fortifications in sealed railroad cars marked "urgent goods." Enbom reckoned that 200 men would be enough to seize the fortress by surprise...
