...Line? Abel did not work alone. Also in the plot, as the grand jury indictment told the story, were his deputy, Lieut. Colonel Reino Hayhanen (cover name: "Vic"), and three others-Vitali G. Pavlov, onetime Soviet embassy official in Ottawa; ex-United Nations employee Mikhail Svirin; Aleksandr Mikhailovich Korotkov. For nine years Colonel Abel and his fellow spies played a deadly serious melodrama. They met at prearranged rendezvous, e.g., Manhattan's Tavern-on-the Green and a Newark railroad station, and exchanged or left messages and microfilmed documents, tapped in on telephone lines to make untraceable calls. They banked...
...Judgment of Rulers and Peoples Since the Reformation. Steve's principal error, as Author Swiggett sees it, seems to lie in thinking that a few miles of Long Island Railroad track can separate the company's time from his own. While Steve never becomes as abject as Pavlov's dogs, the company rules him by conditioned reflex.

Sargant glibly equates this with Communist techniques for extorting confessions and brainwashing and credits Russians and Chinese Reds with having refined their methods after a study of Pavlov...
There is no evidence either that the latter-day Reds have applied Pavlov's principles to their practices in extorting confessions or making brainwashed conversions. Many experts believe that confession and conversion should not be lumped, that confessions involve different emotional mechanisms. (Another distinction: confessions and temporary conversions are common and easily obtained; true, long-lasting conversions are difficult and more rare.) An exhaustive study for the U.S. Department of Defense by Manhattan Drs. Lawrence E. Hinkle and Harold G. Wolff-based on hundreds of intensive studies of escaped and repatriated prisoners from Eastern Europe and China and with...
