Died. Major General Ivan Agayants, 57, high-ranking Soviet intelligence officer, a deputy director in the huge State Security Committee (KGB), whose twin specialties were NATO espionage and the dissemination of "black propaganda" to undercut enemy agencies; of undisclosed causes; somewhere in the Soviet Union. As one of three deputies in the KGB's Division I (foreign espionage), Agayants was responsible for the vast Soviet network that was recently the subject of an explosive LIFE article by onetime French Agent Philippe Thyraud de Vosjoli...
...them. Recruited a year ago by friends to join the venture and lend it his name, Harlech has invested $120,000 of his money and 80% of his working time into organizing the venture. When normal operations begin, he will commute between company headquarters in London and the twin production centers in Cardiff and Bristol. "I've had a hell of a lot to learn from the beginning," he says. "I've been conscious of not being an expert...
...EYES OF THE BEACON STREET UNION (MGM). Among today's sound-saturated rock groups, The Beacon Street Union is refreshingly rare: it recognizes the existence of twin stereo speakers and utilizes them to separate its music into two compatible components.

All in all, the Islander offers only one frill; though one big engine would theoretically offer reliability enough, the plane has two 260-h.p. Lycoming engines to allow for the customer confidence...
...book, the war was only the background framing the twin heroes, Prince Andrei Bolkonsky (played by Vyacheslav Tikhonov) and his friend Pierre Bezukhov (played by Director Bondarchuk), who represent the two faces of the aristocracy. The outlines of the plot are familiar even to those nonreaders who saw the 1956 miniversion, with Audrey Hepburn, Mel Ferrer, and Henry Fonda. Andrei, a sophisticate and soldier, is unable to alter his archaic sensibilities and perishes in the war. Pierre, muddling through the chaos around him, does nothing right, but because he has the capacity to grow and change, he survives. Between...
