...major gang syndicate that runs a lucrative retail cocaine trade not only on the streets of south-central Los Angeles but also inside the walls of the prison.

Arthur Walker's trial shed new light on his brother's activities. Not only did John recruit his son, brother and best friend as spies, he allegedly strapped a money belt on his unsuspecting mother to bring spy payments back from Europe. Also introduced as evidence was a set of KGB instructions seized at John Walker's Norfolk home. They read like something out of a bad mystery novel. Hand-lettered in red and blue ink, the directions told Walker what route to take to meet a Soviet agent in Vienna, starting at a store called Komet Küchen, which...
This is entirely appropriate, for the movie's subject is superbrainy young people, non-nerd division. They have been recruited to a double-dome school at the M.I.T.-Caltech level by slick Professor Jerome Hathaway (William Atherton), who has an explain-it-all science show on TV and a Government contract to build a particularly unsavory laser-powered weapon.

Among his drones are Mitch (Gabe Jarret), an innocent 15-year-old prodigy; Kent (Robert Prescott), who is teacher's pet, half toady, half Gestapo...

But he never makes quite clear how; perhaps it was by sheer exuberance. In any case, the winds...
...served as a submarine navigation officer for a year before joining the KGB in 1960. After several assignments in naval counterintelligence and security, he became in 1972 deputy chief of the third department of the KGB's Third Chief Directorate, a daunting mouthful that essentially meant Yurchenko helped recruit and run foreign agents. Yurchenko came to Washington in 1975, charged with overseeing security arrangements for the embassy. In 1980 Yurchenko returned to Moscow, where he became head of the section responsible for, among other things, ferreting out double agents and leaks within the KGB. In April of this year Yurchenko...
