...indictment against Whitworth contains twelve counts, one of which charges that he illegally copied a document known as Annex K while stationed on the Enterprise. Prosecutors said the document outlines the Navy's plan for communications in the Indian Ocean in the event of major hostilities in the Middle East. Other experts said this information would permit the Soviets to figure out what U.S. military units would be involved. The indictment also accuses Whitworth of giving John Walker details of the Autodin system, which is used by all of the U.S. Armed Forces to transmit computerized information via satellites...

More than half have been freed, but at least five antiapartheid activists released last week found that the efforts to silence them did not end with detention. The group includes four whites and an Indian member of the executive board of the multiracial United Democratic Front. By the terms of their release, they have been effectively barred from leaving Johannesburg and from political activities. The Detainees' Parents Committee, which monitors detentions, denounced the curbs as "banning through the back door." Seven other former detainees appealed...
