Shanghai was the word for this operation. Some colleagues on Capitol Hill were dedicating a hearing room in honor of Carl Vinson, 81, retired chairman of the House Armed Services Committee.

Last week, after decades of pirating others' ideas without so much as a thank you, the Russians joined the Paris Convention of 1883, the pact under which 67 nations agree to honor one another's patents and trademarks. In the future the Russians will have to pay the same licensing fees as everyone else when they cast a covetous eye on a new product or process. In return, the West is taking steps to recognize the U.S.S.R.'s internal system...
