Spy pay, not riches keep espionage honest
A U S counter espionage agent says four years as a Czech spy yielded only 3440 dollars which he turned over to the FBI. The piece argues high salaries would attract the uncommitted, ruin the field and push schools to train spies for money, while old style agents fade away and pumpkin growers gain free time.
