Disbelieving Mother. The man in the dark coat was Valentin A. Gubichev, 32, a Russian engineer, who came to the U.S. in 1946 as a United Nations employee, assigned to help build its new Manhattan headquarters.

...Gasperoni produced his trump card. "We expect to bring home 197 Sammarinesi from Genoa, another four or five hundred from the rest of Italy, and 130 who went to France as coal miners.
