Twice since Martin O'Malley was elected mayor six years ago, Baltimore has been hit by blizzards. Each time, he had city workers phone as many as 25,000 elderly residents to ensure they were O.K.

...Malley, 42, has mastered that kind of retail politicking as a lifelong political buff. His parents met while working at the Democratic National Committee, and he was doing cheers for Hubert Humphrey by age 3. Gary Hart bought him his first legal beer at 21.

An increasing number of spies are raking in East bloc money by selling secret information on microelectronics, computers and signal-processing techniques. "Science and technology is the largest growth industry" in espionage, says Edward O'Malley, an FBI assistant director in charge of the intelligence division. Some recent examples: a Northrop engineer pleaded guilty in March to attempting to transmit Stealth technology to the Soviets for $55,000; the husband of a worker at a Silicon Valley defense firm used his wife's access to sell...
