But Britain, wincing under a succession of clamorous spy cases beginning with the sale of atomic secrets by Klaus Fuchs in 1947 drew little, satisfaction from this promise.

Released 2½ months ago, Fuchs flew to East Berlin, was made a citizen of East Germany almost as soon as the wheels hit the runway...
