...seems, fumes started drifting down over the town. Jim Postiff has lived in Casmalia for 20 years, and the odor was new to him. "The first few times we smelled it," he remembers, "we called the fire department. We didn't know what it was." It is a strange, foul odor, not unlike the stench from a sodden box of cat litter.

No lie is too big: the news agency TASS blithely reported last October that the Pentagon was poisoning the Amazon River. The Soviets still regularly use forgeries to discredit the U.S. Last July the Soviet press published a letter to Chile's President Augusto Pinochet, purportedly from...
