...creature of the night, he spends most afternoons lolling about his four-room furnished flat in London, playing records, sipping Scotch, chattering on the telephone, often with his good friend Erik Bruhn, who, he says, is "the only dancer who has anything to show me that I don't already know." He uses the phone like a postcard, calling dancer friends around the world, chitchatting in fluent, slightly accented English. When visitors arrive, he will emerge wearing high, tan moccasins, skintight, sky-blue pants and flowing fuchsia shirt. Scattered about the living room are effects that mark the mystery...

Piece of Cake. The professional is Colonel Stig Erik Constans Wennerström, 58, tall, handsome, dashing Swedish diplomat, air attache for his embassy in Washington from 1952 to 1957. He was arrested by Swedish agents in Stockholm last year, and admitted that he had been a Soviet spy since 1948. In testimony provided by the Swedes to the U.S. Government and released last week, Wennerström casually disclosed that spying in the U.S. was a piece of cake. He perfected the art of name-dropping in the presence of impressionable people, and cultivated military and diplomatic officers...
