Some hands in Washington suspect that Burns has encouraged the argument with the White House to rally businessmen behind him, thereby improving his chances for reappointment, or at least making it more likely that his successor will not be too liberal. Administration aides say Carter has not even begun to consider whether to keep Burns. That is January's decision, they say, not November's. But postponement of a decision on Burns, just like the delay on the tax package, unsettles the business community and adds to the forces that are lessening chances for a robust economy...
...target of the FBI operation was Andrei Robertovich Lusis, 37, a postdoctoral exchange student who did research on metal oxides in the physics department at Cornell University during the 1976-77 academic year. Lusis' age made him suspect to the FBI: Wasn't he a little old to be just another schoolboy? the bureau asked itself. Perhaps his studies back in the U.S.S.R. had included microphotography and other spooky skills at a special KGB training center. The bureau placed him under surveillance...
...both sides. Just how common became clear last month, when the U.S. sharply protested a crude attempt by the KGB to blackmail a Polish-born American diplomat, Constantine Warvariv, 53, using prefabricated evidence of wartime collaboration with the Nazis. Some State Department officials, still furious about the Lusis case, suspect the attempted blackmail of Warvariv was a Soviet retaliation for the schoolboy affair. More likely, the two incidents were unrelated, except as twin pieces of evidence that spooks will be spooks, it seems, regardless of the initials under which they operate...

Last week he put on the stand William Rufner, a convicted felon and former lover of Priscilla's, hoping to depict him as a possible suspect. Priscilla stands to gain millions by her husband's conviction, Haynes argued, while Gavrel, the other key witness, has a $13 million damage suit pending against Davis...
...expected to attend the congress. Despite a vigorous, yearlong purge of opponents of his regime, there is still some resistance?ranging from mute dissent to downright rebellion?on every level of the ruling bureaucracy. Even rank-and-file party members?traditionally the backbone of a Communist state ?are suspect. Analysts note that party membership rose from 21 million to 35 million in the past decade, when the Gang of Four was riding at its highest point. Perhaps as many as 10 million of those new recruits are suspected of being Gang of Four sympathizers...
