Sobell, said the Goveminent, gave the Rosenbergs secret information, including details of firing control mechanisms for weapons, and recruited a high school classmate into a spy ring managed by Anatoli Yakovlev, Soviet vice consul in New York. When the Rosenbergs were tried in 1951 on charges of passing U.S. atomic secrets to Russia, Sobell was a codefendant.

Lea becomes "It" in a series of progressively debasing games devised by Alvise. She searches frantically for a hidden ring, plays the roles of comic-book characters and chases Alvise blindfolded as he forces her to tumble into a cesspool. "You know I'll never make love to you," Alvise taunts her, but Lea's passion is so great that her nephew seduces her into the ultimate game...
