...then Lonetree, a devotee of spy novels who had already been transferred from Moscow to Vienna, had voluntarily admitted to having had liaisons with a Soviet woman and providing relatively low-level documents from the Vienna embassy -- but not the Moscow embassy -- to a KGB agent nicknamed "Uncle Sasha." Only under persistent and prolonged NIS questioning did Lonetree name Bracy, asserting that when the two of them were in Moscow they had let Soviet agents roam the embassy's secure areas. On the strength of Lonetree's statement, Bracy was arrested...
However, Harvard does sometimes need to emphasize issues which are of special interest often only to the University. As one of the top six producers of low-level radio active waste, Harvard has taken an active role in helping draft legislation concerning the disposal these wastes. Research activities at Harvard hospitals and research centers, which produce some toxic wastes, are very affected by such legislation, Shattuck says...

Like ski bums, some talented young birders take low-level jobs as clerks or night watchmen, thus saving their major energies for the chase...
...long time American experts have worried about mysterious low-level microwaves that have apparently been beamed at the embassy building. One explanation involves a possible type of snooping that does not require hidden transmitters in the building. Mysterious cavities along with configurations of steel rods and wire mesh have been found in the walls of the new embassy complex.

Indeed, it is by no means certain that the Moscow operation ended with the departure of Lonetree and Bracy. Investigators wonder how the two Marines could have carried on love affairs unnoticed within the embassy's close confines. They suspect that the relationships were known but tolerated by others who may have had similar experiences. In fact, Bracy was demoted from sergeant to corporal...
