Alger Hiss, 55, released in 1954 after a 44-month stretch in a federal pen for perjury, is interested in a job more in keeping with his not inconsiderable abilities. In the past two years he worked his way up to a $20,000-a-year salary as administrative assistant to R. Andrew Smith, a ladies' comb manufacturer.

What made the whole story incredible was the fact that many of the participants had previous SEC records in stock deals, which should have alerted SEC officials not to accept the stock registration in the first place. Oreclone's prospectus disclosed that two old SEC pen pals were closely related to the company: Sydney Newman, who was to get royalties on all ore concentrate sold by Oreclone, and Robert Rodman, father of the president and of the secretary-treasurer of the company.
