...name: "Vic"), and three others-Vitali G. Pavlov, onetime Soviet embassy official in Ottawa; ex-United Nations employee Mikhail Svirin; Aleksandr Mikhailovich Korotkov. For nine years Colonel Abel and his fellow spies played a deadly serious melodrama. They met at prearranged rendezvous, e.g., Manhattan's Tavern-on-the Green and a Newark railroad station, and exchanged or left messages and microfilmed documents, tapped in on telephone lines to make untraceable calls. They banked hefty sums of money around New York City under various aliases. In 1954 Abel (cover: "Mark") sent Lieut. Colonel Hayhanen first to Salida, Colo., later...
...nearby mountains. Mountain-bred Swiss were flocking to the gently rolling hill country of Lake Constance. Once again, the great seasonal migration was on, and all over Europe indefatigable optimists were crossing and crisscrossing each other's paths in a brief, determined effort to sniff the green grass growing in somebody else's yard, for, as a sweating porter in Milan's grimy and teeming Central Station put it, "L'estate fa la follia" -Summertime makes for madness...

He ribaldly admired the way Golfer Louise Suggs "drops her shorts on each green" and suggested to Hollywood Composer Dimitri Tiomkin some popular lyrics for new movies: "You are a mess, you are my Sweet Smell of Success"; "The day they hanged my daddy, mother was just A Face in the Crowd." To the dismay of NBC brass, he lashed out at the New York...
...Niners, made the most of a Giant fumble with the slippery ball, swiftly passed his collegians 55 yds. toward the pros' goal, sent Illinois' Abe Woodson scampering downfield and shot Wake Forest Fullback Billy Ray Barnes across to score. But when Notre Dame's Paul Hornung (Green Bay Packers) missed the extra point, the All-Stars had to settle for a 6-0 lead. The Giants settled for something more: crack performances by two of their oldest, saltiest veterans. Ben Agajanian, 38, Giant kicking master for seven years, stepped delicately onto the muddy field to score...
