#2 I have difficulty believing that the writer of For Whom the Bell Tolls would become a spy for the Soviets. It's not quite Homage to Catalonia, but you still get a pretty good idea of the empty-hearted ferocity of the Soviet mercenary corps from that book.

I've occasionally wondered how the KGB and GRU kept their spy-recruiters from padding their rolls with ghost agents, or people who weren't exactly as committed as their 'handlers' pretended to Moscow.
