Does the word "spy" ring a Bell?

A great-grandson of Alexander Graham Bell has been arrested on charges of being an international spy.

Walter Kendall Myers, 72, and his wife Gwendolyn, 71, were arrested June 4 in Washington, D.C. after the FBI alleged the pair were spying on the United States for Cuba for three decades.

Myers is a former U.S. State Department analyst who had top-secret security clearance, according to The Associated Press. (more) (interesting historical background)
