Though he refuses to name them, he claims to have had professorships at five campuses before coming to New Hampshire. Each time, he says, he has assumed the name and identity of some scientist working in another part of the country.

"First, they would be sweet. Then they would become hard and they would threaten. They told us that jail and torture awaited us when we got back to Greece." It was their fellow Greeks who did most of the threatening. "The Hungarians," said another captive, "left us pretty...
