...title of the book bothers me a little bit, too. The book is the third in a trilogy, and Mr. Deighton had the foresight to title the first two Spy Hook and Spy Line, so the advertising copy for the final installment could promise that Len Deighton, "the master of suspense, grabs you Hook, Line and Sinker."

The intervention of U.S. National Academy of Sciences President Philip Handler and other prominent scientists might have forestalled further steps against me. My Soviet colleagues, regrettably, kept silent -- except for public attacks...
...subsequent torrent of change in the Eastern Bloc, experts have advanced scores of theories to explain the rise of freedom. Economists cite the inherent inefficiency of central planning, while the Right credits the Reagan military buildup with forcing Gorbachev to back down. The press, enamored of Gorbachev, credits his foresight and "vision" with Eastern Europe's new found freedom...
