...standard come-ons, but sometimes other pressure is applied as well. Last month Iranian Major General Ahmed Mogharebi confessed that he had spied for the KGB after Soviet agents threatened to reveal his past membership in Iran's outlawed Communist Party, Tudeh. The leader of the Iranian spy ring, a government official named Ali-Naghi Rabbani, had sophisticated radio equipment for receiving Soviet satellite transmissions in his home.

...become a prostitute in order to get a work permit she needs to feed her family. A man tries to participate in an illegal strike. Another watches his father die because he couldn't call an ambulance--there are few telephones in the black townships. They are stories that ring true, stories that have been told often enough by black South Africans.
