...would rather have Reagan negotiating for us than any other President in memory. In addition to having a remarkably healthy psyche, the President is a moral man with surprisingly accurate instincts about what is good for this country. At least he will not sell our interests down the river as Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman did when they dealt with the Soviet Union at Yalta and Potsdam. Gail Funaro Cerritos, Calif...

...technology, stepped-up surveillance and a cooperative get-tough approach at the FBI and CIA are helping the U.S. to spook out traitors. The record number of arrests during the past two years is partly due, no doubt, to a rise in the number of spies. "Espionage," says one Reagan Administration official, "is a growth industry." But more important, say many intelligence experts, the arrests stem from the hard-line counterespionage policies adopted by two consecutive Presidents...
