Swedish naval officers will continue their grilling today (Nov. 4) of Soviet submarine Capt. Pyotr Gushin - still not satisfied with the answers he has given them for his presence in a top secret military area well inside Swedish waters, Monitor contributor Chris Mosey writes.

Sweden also forced the Russians to pay for dragging the sub clear Monday.
