Tumanov, 41, a former editor at Radio Liberty, the Munich- based, U.S.-sponsored station that broadcasts news to the Soviet Union, disappeared in February. Last week he reappeared at a bizarre press conference in Moscow, saying that after his 1965 defection the CIA had forced him to work for Radio Liberty...
