...forms of blue stuff have correspondingly declined. Says Minister of Justice Knud Thestrup, who led the effort to legalize pornography across the board: "Publishers who printed the books tried to counter falling sales by price reductions, but even this was not successful." One of those publishers is Stig Vendelkjaer, whose titles include I, a Woman. "I have 500,000 unsold books in stock," he complains. "Heaven knows how I shall ever get rid of them." Hardest hit of all, perhaps, are the obsequious little men who run Denmark's fleshier kiosks and porno stores-and who are now trying...
Piece of Cake. The professional is Colonel Stig Erik Constans Wennerström, 58, tall, handsome, dashing Swedish diplomat, air attache for his embassy in Washington from 1952 to 1957. He was arrested by Swedish agents in Stockholm last year, and admitted that he had been a Soviet spy since 1948.

The suavely handsome aviator, who held the secret rank of major general in the Red army, also spied on NATO, and during a five-year stint (1952-57) as an air attache in Washington handed his bosses information on the Polaris submarine, the Strategic Air Command, and U.S. nuclear weapons, which he was able to inspect on the assembly lines. Since his arrest a year ago, Wennerstr...
...known. The government allowed only 900 pages of the 3,700-page trial transcript to be published; nearly half of the court's 190-page judgment, also, was classified. If it contained any information that the Russians did not already have, it was through no fault of Stig Wennerstr...
