...Corporate Lawyer Joachin Cuadra Chamorro, Carlos Tünnermann Bernheim, who was rector of the National University, and Cesar Amador Khull, a former officer of the Inter-American Development Bank.

...LOEB'S production of Lulu is the perfect portrayal of a nightmare. The stage is draped in red. Characters float in and out and die while piano rags tinkle soothingly in the background. As in all nightmares, there is no interior logic, just a disembodied series of sketches that provoke mingled horror and impatience at their very disjointedness.

Haas, who claimed that she had stopped working for the KGB in 1972, told her West German interrogators that she had been recruited by the Russians during a group tour of the Soviet Union in 1969. Her mission...
...Interior Ministry report also disclosed that 17 people had been arrested on espionage charges last year. Most of these were suspected East German agents. Six, including Haas, were KGB operatives. A pair of Soviet agents based in Frankfurt were charged with stealing the plans for the firing mechanism of the West German Leopard 1 and Leopard 2 tanks...
