...Abel in 1957 when the court appointed him to handle the Red spy's defense. The Government's case appeared airtight; the FBI had bagged Abel with all the paraphernalia of his trade-short-wave radios, hollowed-out bolts and tie clasps, coded messages, code book, microfilm equipment, and marked maps of major U.S. defense installations. Though Abel was found guilty, Donovan's contention that the Government's evidence had been illegally obtained without a warrant nearly caused the Supreme Court to reverse the conviction on appeal. Before sentence was passed, Donovan urged that the possible...
Defeated Machinery. On trial in London, Italian-born Atomic Physicist Giuseppe Martelli tried to explain away his possession of hollow-heeled shoes suitable for concealing microfilm, cigarette packs containing thin, inflammable message pads, sheets of rendezvous instructions, a high-powered camera, and a superstrength radio receiver.

Rewarding Investment. The worried-looking third member of the group, one Erwin Tiebel, merely served as courier for Felfe and Clemens. The spies transmitted their information by microfilm hidden in food cans sent to East Germany, by drops along the Autobahn, and by frequent trips on U.S. Air Force courier flights to Berlin, which they boarded under the pretext of being on Gehlen business.

For businesses where disposal of confidential or secret material is essential, Destroyit does the job on the spot. Price...
...graphically (instead of reducing them to equations) on a console that looks like a flat, unflickering television screen. The operator's designs pass through the console into an inexpensive computer, which solves the problems and stores the answers in its memory banks in both digitalized form and on microfilm. By simply pressing buttons and sketching with the light pen, the engineer may enter into a running dialogue with an EDM, recall any of his earlier drawings to the screen in a millisecond and alter its lines and curves at will. The whole system, Itek engineers claim, can be hooked...
