...this country and since." Jack Soble, also known as Peter, Abram and, in earlier years, Abromas Sobolevicius, arrived in the U.S. in 1941 by way of Japan. He and Myra became U.S. citizens in 1947. Soble worked as a dealer in animal hair and bristles, but behind his façade of respectability, the U.S. charged, he served the Kremlin as a spymaster in a ring that operated in the U.S. and Europe for more than a decade.

As private capital disappears from the stock market, industrialists fear that they will have to borrow from government-controlled banks instead. The stock market, a major pillar of free enterprise, would thus become an ornamental façade for a socialist economy that is already 40% government-owned. Italian financial leaders have tried to convince the government that a dividend tax levied directly on corporations would be cheaper to collect and harder to dodge.
