While airborne cameras are crisscrossing Cuba, more dignified electronic snooper planes circle the island. Some, with their bulky radar antennas, look like a fish that has just swallowed a turtle but their sensitive radar pictures sometimes reveal things that photographs miss. Other snoopers are loaded with electronic black boxes" that can record every electronic signal emanating from Cuba-from mambo music to messages for Moscow. No ground-based radar can search the sky without being recorded. Even hand-carried walkie-talkies can be heard by the bug ears...

Day after day his spies report-nothing. Day after day, in snap inspections, he finds-nothing...
...raid on its front page; the Oregonian buried it in the sports section. Last week, at Langley's urging, the county grand jury delivered its first indictments in the case. To the Journal's glee, the jury indicted the Oregonian's major sources, Elkins and Snooper Clark, for illegal wiretapping...
