We now commence our second month-long series on espionage, the world of spies, secrets, & saboteurs. Toward the end of the month, we will celebrate the fourth anniversary of "The Explorers Club," by which time we will have made up for all the episodes missed during the deeply regretted December '09-May '10 hiatus & return "The Explorers Club" to once-weekly publication. But first, spymania!

The Explorers Club
No. CCIV - The Stasi spymaster Markus Wolf (1923-2006), "the Man without a Face."
