Russia detains American on espionage charges MOSCOW - Russia detained a US citizen and a Russian associate on spying charges, the Federal Security Service an- nounced Wednesday. The identity ofthe American was not immediately disclosed, and the US Embassy refused to comment. The security service said he is a manager of a private company in Moscow and a former career intelligence officer. The Russian was described as “an expert in defense technologies employed by a Moscow organization.” Spying charges, arrests and expulsions are a fairly regular occur- rence between Russia and Westerr ations, but this was the first casesince Vladimir Putin, himselfafoi,,ieroverseasspy,waselected president. Putin has signaled a desire to improve relations with Washington and seek progress on several long-festering arms control issues, and it was not immediately clear whether the arrest today would affect those plans. In a statement, the security service claimed the US citizen had “intentionally developed contacts with Russian scientists in Mos- cow, Novosibirsk and other cities ... with the goal ofgathering state secrets of Russia.” The service also said it confiscated “a large number of docu- I ments” including“technica1 drawingsofvariousequipment, record- 1 ingsofhisconversations with Russian citizensrelatingtotheirwork in the Russian Defense Ministry, and receipts for American dollars Letters to the Editor welcome: received by them.” Compiled from the Los Angeles Times-Washington Post News Service and TMS Campus News Service tdaily~emerald.tufts.edu THETUFTS DAILY April 6,2000 3 Features Child labor issues topic of panel students concerned with worldwide child exploitation Stick up Jumbo’s by SARAH SWAIN and as a human being.

Despite the record, he finished his freshman campaign by leading all rookies in ERA (4.071, innings pitched( 196.2),andstrikeouts(139). The 25-year-old wasthe first overall pick in the ’96 draft, and should begin to shake offthe rookie rust in ’00. If he does, Pittsburgh could challenge the Cards for thud place. Jeromy Burnitz, Milwaukee. Remember this name, because it’ll be the only good thing you’ll re- ally be able to say about the Brew- ers. It’s a shame that Bumitz got injured last year, because he was on a roll. He had already reached the 100-markplateauinRBI forthe second straight season (with 103), and hadalsoknockedout33 home runs. After starting his career off slowly with the Mets and Indians, Burnitz has blossomed over the last couple years with Milwaukee and will hopefully shake off the broken hand sustained last year to be the one saving grace of this unfortunate group of players.
