Excerpt: Jonathan Jay Pollard (born August 7, 1954 in Galveston, Texas) is a former civilian intelligence analyst who was convicted of spying for Israel. He received a life sentence in 1987. Israel granted Pollard citizenship in 1995, while publicly denying, until 1998, that he was an Israeli spy.

During his childhood he was considered by many acquaintances to be "unstable," a reputation that followed him into adulthood. Pollard earned a degree in political science from Stanford University in 1976. He enrolled in several graduate schools in subsequent years, but never completed a postgraduate degree. He met his future wife Anne Henderson in 1982, when both were living in Sacramento. In 1979, after leaving graduate school, Pollard began applying for intelligence service jobs, first at the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and t
