...Reeboks, Ron had the unprecedented advantage of living at the President's chateau while on assignment, causing no small consternation among the rest of the press corps. Some officials were dismayed by the flippant article he produced. Titled While Lenin Slept, it tosses out cheeky descriptions. Three KGB types are slurred as the "kind of lugs who crush walnuts on their heads because it feels good." Said one top U.S diplomat: "It was one of the most damaging things to U.S.-Soviet relations I've seen." But Playboy was pleased. Ron has, says his editor Barry Golson, a "very deft...

One of the servicemen was in the Falkland Islands when he was said to have been taking part in the Cyprus...
...valuable an asset Howard was for the KGB is a matter of some dispute. The CIA insists that he was never a double agent, working for the Soviets at the same time he was an agency employee. In an affidavit filed last week in Albuquerque, the FBI said a confidential source claimed that Howard sold information to the KGB last year in Europe. Senator Dave Durenberger, the Minnesota Republican who chairs the Select Committee on Intelligence, told CBS News that Howard could have caused a security leak "as serious as anything this country has seen in the past."
