...Russian on Bible paper by his Paris publisher for more convenient smuggling to the Soviet Union. At the same time, foreign short-wave stations were regularly broad casting readings from his books to 100 million Soviet listeners.

For Cambridge was also a school for scandal.

In fact, trials were already under way for 14 defendants, including the late President's elder brother Frank and the former Foreign Minister, C. Cecil Dennis. In all cases, the charge was the same: "High treason, misuse of public office, rampant corruption, and gross violation of human and constitutional rights." While the five officers on the tribunal looked on in boredom, the defendants tried to speak above the clatter of a typewriter. They had no counsel. As some of the defendants began to testify, they were...
