...there are some kinds of underground and small atmospheric explosions that even this elaborate network cannot detect with certainty. Last autumn, observation posts in Sweden and France confused a small Russian test blast with the Soviets' long-awaited 58-megaton shot simply because it took place simultaneously with an earthquake in California. Recent underground tests in Nevada confirmed that earthquake confusion is possible unless seismographs are within a few hundred miles of the site.

Through nine strategically placed accomplices in a state-owned plant at Riga, said Izvestia. Kotlyar in 1960 alone got hold of 59,000 lipstick tubes, which an underground labor force filled with homemade batter and distributed nationwide. Top executives at the plant who, complained the paper, "considered the factory their patrimony," were paid from $220 to $1,660 a month each, while Kotlyar's go-between got all travel expenses plus 55? a tube. No playboy, Kotlyar...
