For the foreseeable future and probably forever, there will be unremarkable-looking men poking around English factories or East-bloc offices, busily ferreting out farm reports, industrial blueprints and highway maps, while British or Hungarian agents keep an eye on them. From the tons of material they gather, occasionally?but only very occasionally?something will emerge that will make the head man in Langley, Va., or Dzerzhinsky Square in Moscow reach for his direct line to the White House or the Kremlin...
