...After some diplomatic skirmishing with the Israeli Defense Minister, Weinberger last November dispatched Andrew Marshall, the Pentagon's chief intelligence analyst, to Israel to seek a full report on how U.S. and Israeli weapons systems had performed during the invasion of Lebanon. Sharon demanded that the U.S. not transmit any of the information given by Israel to any ally, including NATO countries, without specific permission from Jerusalem. Moreover, if the data led to the development of any new U.S. defense systems, Israel would share in their production as well as the profits. Finally, Sharon demanded full details on certain...

Operatives from the KGB routinely monitor Western communications from embassy outposts bristling with antennas or from offshore spy trawlers. Ironically, the Soviets have benefited from the telecommunications revolution in the West. The use of satellites and microwaves to transmit telephone conversations has made it easier for KGB eavesdroppers to intercept highly confidential Government and business information...

Although nearly 100 times as heavy as protons, they could not be forged in any existing accelerator. While physicists in the U.S. and elsewhere began designing new machines, Rubbia, who divides his time between Harvard and CERN, the French acronym for the Geneva-based European Organization for Nuclear Research, decided that there must be an easier, cheaper way. He persuaded CERN to let him modify its major accelerator, the Super...

Cutler whispered that there was no way to transfer the Iranian money: the Federal Reserve Bank of New York had no funds available. Fortunately, a shift of funds among the banks of the Federal Reserve System corrected the problem. We had narrowly avoided a most embarrassing oversight...
