From publisher: "The author was one of eight Americans at UNESCO whom the U.S. Government in the mid-1950's requested the Director General of UNESCO to dismiss because there was 'reasonable doubt' as to their loyalty to the United States. The Director General ... fired seven who had refused to su[b]mit to a 'loyalty' investigation, but he declined to act in an 'eighth case'. Behrstock's was the 'eighth case.' The book recounts the history of actions taken by the United States regarding the fate of the seven Americans and the 'eighth case.'"

1. "The Ambivalent Polygraph." International Journal of Intelligence and Counterintelligence 1, no. 3 (1986): 71-83.

The focus here is on use of the polygraph as a counterintelligence tool. "Secretary Schultz opines that 'a professional spy or professional leaker can probably train himself or herself not to be caught by the [polygraph] test.' Is he right? Probably not, if the operator really knows his job."

"Two books of possible use to those who may wish to read further are: Travis B. Patterson, 1979, Lie Detection Via the Polygraph, Marmaduke Press, South Lake Tahoe, Calif., and John E. Reid and Fred E. Inbau, 1966, Truth and Deception: The Polygraph ('Lie-Detector') Technique, Williams & Wilkins, Baltimore. The first (Patterson) is a succinct, unfootnoted, basically sound explanation for potential users of the machine. The second (Reid & Inbau) is a textbook by two criminologists .... Required reading for polygraph operators, it is replete with charts, diagrams, photographs, footnotes, and turgid prose.

"For those interested in the legalities of the polygraph, see S. Abrams, 1977, A Polygraph Handbook for Attorneys, D.C. Heath & Co., Lexington, Mass. For interest shown by our legislators see Use of Polygraphs, 9th Congress, 1st Session, 1965, and H.R.Rep. No. 2081, 89th Congress, 2nd Session, 1966.

"None of the foregoing references is concerned with the polygraph as a tool of counterintelligence."

Operation "Famish" was the FBI codename for a series of national security policy decisions implemented March-November 1986. Eighty KGB and GRU officers were ordered to leave the United States. Major's article examines "the interagency structure and process" through which the Operation "Famish" decisions were made.
