WAS ROBERT OPPENHEIMER AN ATOMIC SPY?

This fascinating and almost book-length article, "Theory of Fielding" by HB Laes, argues rather persuasively (but circumstantially) that the prominent nuclear physicist — Dr Robert Oppenheimer — was a Soviet agent who was given the fictitious name 'Arthur Fielding' in 1942 by his NKVD recruiter.

FUGITIVE FINANCIER MARC RICH AN ISRAELI SPY?

Congress will soon hold hearings on one the most controversial of President Clinton's last minute pardons. We have already heard that Rich's former wife gave more than a million dollars to the Democratic Party and to the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now this NY Post article claims that Rich was an important intelligence source for the Mossad and that both Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and former Mossad chief Shabtai Shavit lobbied Clinton directly in support of last month's pardon.

Richard Thornton, "ODD MAN OUT: Truman, Stalin, Mao and the Origins of the Korean War," Brassey's, 2000, 448 pages

The author is professor of history and international relations at George Washington University. His book is a detailed review of the political, diplomatic and military events that led to the outbreak of the Korean War, and its aftermath. Most interesting is that, contrary to popular belief, US intelligence had detected and forecast the Communist North's June 25, 1950 attack on South Korea. The intelligence was there, according to Dr Thornton, but political leaders did not use it.
