...expulsions that left officials on both sides of the superpower divide grumbling, the Soviets and the Americans each ousted a military attache on charges of espionage. The first blow was struck by the U.S. two weeks ago, when it expelled Lieut. Colonel Yuri Pakhtusov from the Soviet embassy in Washington. State Department and FBI officials accused Pakhtusov of having received classified information about computer-security programs. Pakhtusov allegedly got the documents from an American employee of a U.S. company that does business with the Government...

Almost reluctantly, Reagan tucked the card back in his pocket. He took one more sweeping look around the room where he had exercised the globe's greatest power so long and so exuberantly, slowly squared his shoulders and walked out to the sun-streaked colonnade that links the office with the mansion.
