...ALEKSANDR NIKOLAEVICH SHELEPIN, 46, hard-eyed ex-boss of the secret police, somewhat "sanitized" since Stalin's days, who remains in many ways Russia's top cop. His was the most remarkable of the new promotions, since he leapfrogged over the heads of oldtimers waiting around for membership to become the youngest member of the party Presidium.

But if he pleads guilty to grand larceny, he can cop out for only five to ten years. For first-degree murder, the choice is equally persuasive: jury trial and possible execution, or copping out for a mandatory life sentence that may be commuted to 40 years, and, with good behavior, be cut to about 26 years...
