Russia has Plagiarism Files on Harvard Profs?
Does Russia keep files on plagiarism by Harvard profs? Were those used to pressure Nobel prize nominations in the past in econ and physics? Were they used to try to pressure low interest rate loans in the 1990's? Some press reports or bloggers blame the Harvard profs for controlling Russia and doing a bad job in the 1990's. Does it make sense to think Russian intelligence would let Harvard profs run Russia and not try to get kompromat on the Harvard profs? Would Russia's intelligence service let professors take over Russia when they had used professors to get the A bomb? That would be a humiliation? Russian intelligence didn't stop using profs after Los Alamos, they pushed on profs because it had worked already. Did LTCM trade Russian govt bonds basd on this knowledge? Was this concealed from USAO Mass from 1997 to 2005? This is all hypotheses and speculation.

Did Stalin say enough already?
After they got the A bomb from profs at Los Alamos, Klaus Fuchs, Bruno Pontecorvo for example, did Stalin say to Russian intelligence, enough already? Did Stalin say to the KGB, you're being too hard on profs? Did Stalin say you've gotten enough from profs, now stop? Or did he say, pour it on? Did he say, we've got a good thing, push it to the max? Search on Corson Fock in google for a Soviet letter in 1947 saying Corson plagiarized Fock in effect. Pais's book says it was plagiarism. This is all speculation.
