last six months or so about a young US citizen with a technology background
arrested in Russia on trumped-up drug/alcohol charges, but told he would be
released if he revealed what his company was working on."

    I too vaguely recall such a case.  But putting aside my recollections,
(a) anyone know if it's true?  and (b) if it is, then this is not quite a
Cold War phenonmenon, maybe just a "Cool War" (apologies to F. Pohl)
phenomenon.

  Perhaps you and your friend are thinking of Jack Tobin - see
