One of them thus summarized his instructions from Moscow: "I was to be wearing a white scarf and to be holding in my right hand a leather belt. As the clock struck noon, I would be approached by a woman . . . holding an orange in her hand . . . [She] would ask me in English where I had bought the belt; and I was to reply that I had bought...
