15、nior KGB officer at the Soviet Embassy in Washington. In the shadowy world of espionage, he had a good professional reputation-a spys spy. So when Robert Hanssen decided to switch sides, he sent a letter to Cherkashin offering to work for the Russians.“I would not have contacted you,“ Hanssen wrote,
16、 “if it were not reported that you were held in esteem within your organization.“ Today, Cherkashin, 69, is a prosperous Moscow businessman. He owns a big house in the suburbs and drives a light blue 1986 Chevrolet, a trophy car in the streets of Moscow. “Ive been on my pension now for 10 years,“ he
17、 said when NEWSWEEK contacted him by phone last week. “Im in the private-security business.“ Cherkashin didnt want to discuss the Hanssen case. “I dont like to talk about other peoples affairs,“ said the former spymaster.He wasnt alone; no one in the Kremlin wanted to talk publicly about the exposur
18、e of Hanssen either. But that doesnt mean the Russians are bashful about spying on America. President Vladimir Putin, himself a former colonel in the now defunct KGB, has revived the fortunes of Russian intelligence agencies. Oleg Gordievsky, a KGB officer who defected to Britain in 1985, estimates
19、that the number of Russian spies now in the United States has reached “a record figure-more than 300“.in Putin-style espionage, ideology is out, and so are most acts of subversion aimed at the United States. What Russia needs now is information: military, technological and economic. Putin wants quic
20、k growth for Russias defense industry, sensing lucrative markets overseas. But he has written that it would take as many as 15 years for Russia to catch up with even the poorest countries in the West. “Scientific institutes wont be able to do it; it costs a lot of money,“ says Jolanta Darczewska, a
21、Polish expert on Russias intelligence establishment. “Its better to steal-cheaper and faster.“Like many other Russian agents in the United States, Hanssen apparently was mothballed by the Kremlin after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. His masters feared he might be exposed by a security bre
22、ach in Moscow, and they were getting information of more immediate value from their mole in the CIA, Aldrich Ames, anyway. The intelligence agencies began a comeback under Prime Minister Yevgeny Primakov, another former spymaster. Then, a few weeks after Putin became Boris Yeltsins prime minister in
23、 1999, Hanssen was “reactivated“. With espionage picking up again, his counterintelligence know-how may have given Moscow a map of Americas defenses against spies.Putin purports not to care about Washingtons reaction to Russian spying. “During the Yeltsin years, they had instructions to avoid any sc
24、andals that would spoil relations with the West,“ says Gordievsky. “What Putin told his foreign-intelligence agency was, Dont worry. Im not afraid of scandals.“What Putin may be worried about, however, is moles in his own security service. Some of the information revealed in the FBI affidavit last w
25、eek has touched off a wave of concern in Moscow. The Russians fear it could only have been obtained from a source within Russian intelligence, and that has led officials to suspect U.S. infiltration into the SVR. “If you look at the affidavit, they have documents from the archive of the SVR, said Ol
26、eg Kalugin, the former KGB general who says he brought Cherkashin to Washington. “Some of the references are from 1999.“ There were no Russian defectors from that time who could have provided the Americans with the information, officials say.So are Washington and Moscow back to a spy-vs.-spy standof
27、f?. Gordievsky, among others, thinks Russian intelligence may have misread the new Bush administration, predicting it would be more “pragmatic“ and easier to work with than the Clinton White House. But so far, Washington has been no pushover. Bush advisers like Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld insi
28、st that the United States will go ahead with a national missile defense system, despite Russias opposition. Last week Moscow had to back down a bit, stressing its willingness to talk about a missile shield. As Robert Hanssen has learned, intelligence is hardly a sure thing.（分数：5.00）(1).In Putin-styl

36、e of an afterlife. The 27-year-old started her research at university and her thesis was turned into a BBC documentary that she re-wrote as her debut bestseller Seeing Angels. The book prompted so many people to write to her with their ghostly experiences that she used them for a second book After D
37、eath Communication, which has just been released in paperback.Her new book They Walk Among Us describes sances with mediums who can summon solid ghosts out of thin air. While working on the book she invited a medium to her home in the Cotswolds to demonstrate a form of ghostly communication where sp
38、irits take over the body. She explained: “This medium came to my house, sat in my front room, and went into a trance. An old mans body just appeared over the top of the medium- he turned into an old man right in front of me. I was absolutely terrified at first-his hands became all arthritic and rheu
39、matoid and his voice was old and staggered. The lights in my old cottage were going mad, going up and down by themselves but they had never done it before or since.“ Emma added: “The old man spoke to my boyfriend Paul and asked him to take the mediums pulse. Paul, an army doctor, felt his wrist and
40、said think hes dead -but he wasnt, he had let the spirit take him over.“They Walk Among Us tells stories of people like Nick McGlynn, who was reunited with his wife Marie during a sance. She spoke to him through a medium hours after dying in hospital from multiple organ failure. Nick recalls the mom
41、ent, halfway through the sance, when he heard his wife for the first time: “A fairly weak voice said, Nick, Nick Im home, Im home, in the special way I used to announce my arrival to her when I came home. He says he told her he was happy for her, and that she thanked him for staying with her in hosp
42、ital and told him: “I want you to have a ball. Go out and have a good time.“Emma says these paranormal experiences are “as natural as the sun and the rain“ and since the books release last month shes had hundreds more letters from readers. She adds: “Its such a huge subject, I feel like I am on the
43、tip of a massive iceberg“. “After the first book there were so many letters that the second one wrote itself.“One miraculous tale retold in After Death Communication is that of Dave Barber, who believes his dead grandmother saved him from drowning. Dave describes the day he almost died swimming with
44、 his son: “As neither my wife or I can swim we sat at the side of the pool, watching my son splash about. I decided to climb into the shallows and join in the fun. Almost immediately, I slipped, and fell. As he lay at the bottom of the pool Dave saw a “white mist“ at the end, which got closer until
45、he saw his dead grandmother emerge from it. “Her arms were outstretched towards me and she was dressed in a white silken gown,“ he says. “Suddenly, I was aware that my nine-year-old son had dived in to save me. He was banging my head on the floor of the pool in an effort to lift me. My grandmother,
46、Amelia, was now very close and 1 knew that if I turned to her, I would die. I looked at my son and knew he needed me. Immediately, the pain returned, I felt myself rising through the water and I blacked-out./（分数：5.00）(1).Author Emma Heathcote-James has at least written _ books telling real-life ghos
