...crowded Moscow courtroom looked very much like a spy. Dapper Greville Maynard Wynne, 44, was a salesman who lived quietly in London's fashionable Chelsea section with his wife and young son when he was not on the road selling electrical machinery in Russia and Eastern Europe. Slender Oleg Penkovsky, 44, was a much-decorated Russian war hero who recently had held the delicate job of arranging East-West scientific exchanges for a Soviet state committee. But last week the incongruous pair went on trial for espionage before a military panel of three Soviet Supreme Court generals. While klieg...

"Couldn't they stay up longer if they had engines?'' They could indeed. But to the 63 competitors from 23 nations who gathered in Junin, Argentina, for last week's world soaring championships, engines are just excess weight, and flying a conventional airplane is about as exciting as riding a subway to work. To the sailplaner, the good things in life are a cramped cockpit...
