[Spooks] Article

Hi--

I'm trying to get this article out to anyone who might be interested.  It
appeared in the magazine *The Week*, on November 27, in the "World at a
Glance" section:

*Washington, D.C.*
*Spying for Cuba:* A former State Department analyst and his wife pleaded
guilty last week to spying for Cuba for almost 30 years. Walter and
Gwendolyn Myers admitted in federal court to providing classified defense
information to Cuban agents through “dead drops” and “hand-to-hand” passes,
including exchanging shopping carts in a grocery store; *they received their
coded instructions via shortwave radio.* [emphasis mine].  The espionage
began after Myers visited Cuba in 1978 and came away thinking leader Fidel
Castro was “brilliant and charismatic.” The Myerses were caught in an FBI
sting in June; Myers is to serve a life sentence and his wife will serve six
to seven and a half years.

Here's the URL, but it's subscriber only, so don't know if it will work:

Maybe everyone knows about this already, but just in case...
