After the fraud was exposed, by workers who tipped off state inspectors, some signers of the completion statement said that they had been pressured to do so. A Leningrad trade union official, N.S. Timoshin, said he knew construction had not been completed, "but the deputy chairman of the commission very much wanted me to sign the statement." Others claimed that their signatures had been forged. Fire Inspector A.V. Vakhi offered an impeccably logical explanation for why he signed the completion document: "Since there was no factory, there was nothing there that could catch fire...
...standing. Annulments are now so widespread that they are sometimes called "Catholic divorce." In 1968 only 338 were granted in the U.S. In 1978 there were 27,670. The increase came because U.S. annulment procedure has been streamlined, and the grounds-once limited to such strict factors as force, fraud, bigamy or impotence-have been quietly loosened. Many diocesan court judges now accept evidence of serious psychological "immaturity" as ex post facto proof of a couple's inability to enter into a valid marriage. In a little-noticed speech two weeks ago to the Vatican's marriage tribunal...

Because of the magnitude of the alleged fraud, Scotland Yard has entered the investigation, and as a Greek shipping executive in London observed last week, "It's a lulu." At the heart of the mystery may be the oil needs of South Africa. Blacklisted by Arab oil producers, and with no wells of its own, the Pretoria...
...Dakar, Georgoulis dismissed the suggestions of fraud as "complete lies." Last week Soudan was in Switzerland; he has pledged to furnish absolute proof of his innocence. South Africa's Minister of the Economy, Schalk van der Merwe, has insisted that his country's "hands are clean." Lloyd's, however, surmises that after buying the Salem's oil, South Africa then resold it, at a 10% increase, to Rhodesia...
