that the security of Moscow station and the

important global secrets depended on the
integrity of a single young Marine stationed

Marine spy scandal that seemed
to fizzle out? A new book says it
was far worse than anyone feared
-or the Government will admit
In Moscow Station, investigative reporter Ronald
Kessler depicts an incredible lack of security at the U.S.
embassy. Seductive KGB women used their embassy
jobs to lure lonely Marines into espionage. But, says
Kessler, the Navy bungled its probe, only one Marine
was convicted of spying, and embarrassed U.S. agencies
tried to play down the damage. In fact, he claims, there
is solid evidence that Soviet agents had been admitted to
the inner code rooms and stole some of America's most
sensitive secrets.
