Russians Arrest Yale Professor On Spy Charge
Russian authorities announce the arrest of Prof. Fred Barghoorn of Yale University on espionage charges. Barghoorn, 52, previously worked at the U.S. Embassy in Moscow and arrived in the Soviet Union on a tourist visa last October. The U.S. State Department stated it had no confirmation of the case, while the embassy pressed for details. The charge likely reflects a broad espionage pattern involving photographing installations. Barghoorn resides in New Haven and is connected to Harvard botanist Elsa Sterenberg Bench.
