THIS WINDY, CINEMATIC SPY NOVEL RElies shamelessly on quick cuts and spectacular scenery, and never mind logic. Anthony Hyde's CHINA LAKE (Knopf; $22) takes its title from a secret Naval Intelligence station in the Mojave Desert, where a 25-year-old mystery -- Who gave the heat-seeking Sidewinder missile to the Soviets? -- has never been resolved. Hyde leads us lengthily through the murk of old lies, from California to a wave-swept cliffside in Scotland to another cliff in Wales to East Germany and back to the black depths of a lost gold mine in the Mojave.

But he was awarded 700,000 shares in options, with a present- day value of $4.1 million, even though the company lost $1.1 billion last year. Counting the options, Lego actually received a 41% increase...
