...money for household expenses." Thus prosaic Mrs. Greenglass added her testimony to the story of a far-flung Russian espionage ring whose purpose was to steal U.S. atomic secrets (TIME, March 19). She admitted that she had recruited her husband into the conspiracy which included British Physicist Klaus Fuchs, Philadelphia Chemist Harry Gold, and Spymaster Anatoli Yakovlev, Russian vice consul in New York...

Tall and pale, Julius Rosenberg, 33, drummed on the counsel table; his wife, Mrs. Ethel Green-glass Rosenberg, indicted with them as a fellow conspirator, was the calmest.

Fuchs had been privy to the deepest U.S. atom secrets, and Gold had carried a treasure of horror in his soft hands...
