Britain softer than U S in dealing with atomic spies
Washington dispatches describe how Britain treated Allan Nunn May with leniency after World War I and II espionage linked to a larger Russian spy network. The piece contrasts Britain’s light sentences with harsher U S. penalties like the Rosenbergs, Fuchs and Greenglass, while noting ongoing, elusive spy rings across Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
