...swap since World War II, the result of talks among six nations: the U.S., East and West Germany, Poland, Bulgaria and the Soviet Union. Negotiations began after Polish Spy Marian Zacharski was sentenced to life in prison in 1981 for buying classified documents from a Hughes Aircraft Co. radar engineer. Poland let the U.S. know it wanted him back. In 1983 Alfred Zehe, a Dresden physicist, was arrested in Boston for buying classified information from a Navy employee cooperating with the FBI. East Germany then entered the talks through Wolfgang Vogel, an East German lawyer who helped engineer...
Reagan made some major concessions to round up a majority in the Democratic-controlled House. U.S. aid to the contras will be limited to humanitarian supplies, such as food and medicine. Even defensive military equipment like radar is precluded in the House plan, though such items may be permitted in the Senate version.

He lurks behind the backstop, aiming a radar gun as purposefully as Clint Eastwood. "Straight change-ups 71, hard curves 78, soft ones 73," he mutters in review. "Ninety-mile-per-hour fast balls the whole game long, and his best stuff is waiting at the end. I'm telling you, this kid is amazing." A mustachioed Cuban in a white straw hat, Brito is the Dodger scout who discovered 17-year...
...only very limited testing of antimissile components, but it says nothing about subcomponents. Thus in Washington's interpretation subcomponent tests are permitted, though the Pentagon concedes this is a "gray area." In addition, the U.S. argues that the Soviets have repeatedly violated the treaty, notably by building a giant radar installation near Krasnoyarsk in Siberia...
