...film genres, the thriller is the most dependent on directorial technique. Using camera tracks, point-of-view shots and disorienting cuts, the director can reveal or conceal, lead and mislead the viewer into a position as vulnerable as that of a fair-haired virgin in an old dark house. De Palma knows all about this. His camera glides down corridors and through rooms as elegantly as a downhill racer with murder on his mind. His actors of ten move at an otherworldly pace that recalls the stylized slowness of silent movies-especially in a wordless sequence that lasts almost half...
Named chief of counterintelligence in 1954, Angleton had to pass judgment on defectors coming out of the Soviet bloc. Were they genuine or sent to mislead, the U.S. with "disinformation"? Very few defectors got through his fine net, frustrating other CIA agents anxious to collect all the information they could. Echoing their complaints, Martin charges that Angleton became so obsessed with uncovering a Soviet "mole" in the CIA that he immobilized its operations. Martin even dignifies in print some speculation of others that astonishes and angers Angleton's admirers in the intelligence community: that Angleton himself could have been...
...Hoover.

In a memo digging into many dark corners of Philby's career, Harvey spelled out a pattern that led to the double agent's un masking...
...extent to which intelligence agencies, primarily the Central Intelligence Agency, were involved in clandestine and covert relationships with both academic institutions and individual academics. In 1976 we said that the report confirmed that "...Universities and scholars have been paid to lie about the sources of their support, to mislead others, to induce betrayed confidences, to misstate the true objects of their interest, and to misrepresent the actual objectives of their work." At that time we asked the CIA to end its covert use of academic institutions and individual academics and to provide the same guarantee to the academic community which...
...Since this mystic longing has increasingly filled the novels and stories of Author Doris Lessing, 59, it is not surprising that she has finally got around to spaceships and galactic travelers; she herself calls Shikasta, her 24th book, "space fiction." This description is accurate enough, but it may mislead some into expecting much less than this dazzling novel actually delivers. Shikasta owes more to Gulliver's Travels and the Old Testament than to Buck Rogers; it is at once a brief history of the world, a tract against human destructiveness, an ode to the natural beauties of this earth...
