...dubious honor for the last remaining superpower, but the U.S. can now claim to be the bargain basement of the world. Signs of this distinction are everywhere this summer -- atop the Empire State Building, for instance, where Klaus Graumann, 27, a molecular biologist from Austria, is snapping pictures with his just acquired Olympus camera, wearing jeans, a polo shirt and running shoes also bought during his visit. "We say, 'O.K., we've seen the museums. Let's get a sandwich and go to the department store,' " notes Graumann...
...France's renowned judge of terrorism cases, charged Carlos in a 1982 Paris bombing that killed a pregnant woman and injured 63 other people -- one of several cases he may stand trial for.

The point is of more than passing importance: Fuchs was later found to have provided the Soviets with actual drawings of the American atom bomb...
...Oppenheimer was interested in a variety of left-wing causes during the 1930s and early '40s and that friends and family belonged to the American Communist Party for brief periods. It is also true that the Soviets were able to penetrate the wartime Manhattan Project -- and particularly Los Alamos. Klaus Fuchs is without doubt their greatest success in that regard.
