- Senator David Boren, back from an Intelligence Committee
- trip to the Soviet Union, is brandishing a unique souvenir.
- General Vladimir Kryuchkov, chief of the KGB, gave the third-term
- Oklahoma Democrat a newly issued series of stamps honoring some
- of the spy agency's biggest heroes. Included in the set: Kim
- Philby, the notorious mole in the British intelligence service
- who defected to Moscow in 1963 and joined the KGB's inner circle.
- In jest, Senator Boren asked his Soviet host why Philby's equally
- famous fellow double agents, Guy Burgess and Donald MacLean, had
- not been given their own stamps. "That's the next series,"
- replied Kryuchkov.
