...practice of deception is the art of survival for spies. For the past three years, a West German cryptographer named Heinz-Helmuth Werner worked in the very heart of NATO headquarters in Brussels, dealing with the codes and secret signals that masked the classified information of the Western alliance. No one questioned his reliability. Two weeks ago, however, his cover was blown. Acting on a tip from West German intelligence, Belgian police searched Werner's home in a Brussels suburb and found transmitting devices and false- bottomed suitcases, as well as top-secret NATO documents. Werner is suspected of having...

Under the Communists, he notes, "we got 13 marks per ticket in subsidies. Tickets cost patrons only 1.50 marks. Now we are already up to 4 to 8 marks, and we don't know...
...noncompetitive barter system with bilateral, hard-currency agreements could free industries to turn their attention to non-Comecon nations. Historically, the Comecon system has encouraged inefficiency, low-quality production and poor planning. "It made each country in the bloc more anxious to consume than to produce," says Hans-Heinz Kopietz of the International Institute of Strategic Studies in London. The sooner Comecon is scaled back or abandoned -- and many experts believe Moscow will acquiesce in this to help its own economy -- the sooner the East Europeans can begin adapting themselves to competition in the world market...
