He treats them with respect as part of what he calls the "corporate style" and says he wants to "professionalize the workplace." Lately he has been lobbying for across-the-board raises.

A few days later, Pollard and his wife, Anne Henderson-Pollard, drove to the Israeli embassy in Washington, seeking political asylum. The embassy turned them away, and Pollard was promptly arrested by FBI agents. If convicted, he faces a maximum sentence of life in prison on charges...
When Samuel Loring Morison, a ship analyst at the U.S. Naval Intelligence Support Center in Suitland, Md., noticed three photos of a Soviet aircraft carrier lying on a colleague's desk, he thought they might be of interest to Jane's Defense Weekly, a British magazine. Morison, a part-time editor of a sister publication, filched the photos, which had been taken by an American KH-11 satellite, clipped the "Secret" markings off the corners and mailed the pictures to London...
