...proxy marriage. Napoleon used the Archduke Charles in Vienna as his stand-in at the altar with Marie Lou ise of Austria, while the Emperor stayed comfortably in Paris. And proxy marriages between soldiers and their girls back home became common in World War I. But during the Indo-China war a decade ago, when it sometimes took weeks for news of a soldier's death in the jungles to reach Paris, brides often discovered that they had been married by proxy to men already killed.

...leaked out to the Western press, but Kremlin officials clammed up about their catch and refused to confirm or deny the escape. One reason for Moscow's reticence: a man named Chou Hsiang-pu was one of Peking's security agents during the 1954 Geneva conference on Indo-China. If he is the defector, he probably has a far more interesting tale to tell Moscow than any ordinary diplomat...
