RUSSIA'S YARD SALE Psst! Wanna buy a MiG jet fighter? How about 200 lbs. of uncut emeralds or a little nuclear-reactor fuel? In once secret military-industrial cities, all this and more is for sale.

But the inspectors were not permitted to take samples from the "glove box" that would reveal any recent handling of the North...
