...First, Lipavsky had volunteered his services to CIA agents at the American embassy in Moscow. U.S. intelligence sources have conceded that Lipavsky worked for the agency for nine months, providing information about dissidents.

He thus provided the link the KGB sought to establish between the hapless Shcharansky...
...bouncy style of "True Love Tends To Forget" gives him no way to sing the lines "I saw you drift into infinity and come back again" without sounding stupid.

He asked for names of officials; he wanted more names; he wanted us to make a full report to him, leaving out no names. In a flat manner, as if restating a fact to himself, he said that he had told the army to share its grain with the people. Then he thanked us; told me that I was a better investigator than "any of the investigators I have sent on my own." And I was ushered...
