...case of Marian and his friend is just the latest example of what the FBI calls "technology transfer"-the continuing effort by foreign countries, particularly the Soviet Union, to grab American technical know-how in whatever way they can.

Sometimes they are crude to the point of a car pulling up to a technological trade show and just loading up with free literature...
...Hemingway was his first name. The animals, I had been convinced from the age of nine, were probably fake anyway. Still, I always wanted to go on safari even if it was only a defensive maneuver.

Other airframe makers are also eager to grab a piece of the replacement market. Yet not even Boeing, which has manufactured 55% of all commercial planes now in service in the non-Communist world, can afford the escalating prices of building a replacement aircraft. As a result, the company is discussing plans with potential Japanese partners to help pay the development costs. But last week Swarttouw was also in Japan looking for another partner...
