"I am convinced that more information has been obtained by women agents by keeping out of the arms of the man, than was ever obtained by sinking too willingly into them. "If a man is physically but casually interested in a woman, he will very speedily lose interest in her once his immediate object is attained."Whereas if he can come to rely upon the woman more for her qualities of companionship and sympathy, than merely those of physical satisfaction, the enterprise will last longer." 'Ill-founded prejudice': Mr Knight felt the best way to ensure women agents did not fall in love with men they were spying on, was simply to steer them clear of their "type". When the officer is really getting acquainted with his agent, he should, in the case of a woman, pay particular attention to the types of men that the woman concerned likes and dislikes. "His future direction of her should, to a very large extent, be guided by the knowledge which he has obtained during this initial period." Knight did support the use of women agents though, dismissing a "very long-standing and ill-founded prejudice" against them. "A clever woman who can use her personal attractions wisely has in her armoury a very formidable weapon," he said.

Major work by pioneering modern artist Andy Warhol - including pieces never seen before in the UK - go on show in London on Wednesday. The Haunch of Venison gallery in Mayfair is showing Warhol's Hammer and Sickle collection of prints. The 20 pieces, inspired by the Soviet symbol, were drawn in 1976 and 1977. The exhibition also includes a "photobooth" painting by Warhol of the artist Ethel Scull, which has never been exhibited before. The hammer and sickle pictures were made as still lifes, photographed, and projected onto silk. The gallery said the drawings are accompanied by text from the artist's studio assistant, Ronnie Cultrone. Cultrone said that the Hammer and Sickle work "had reduced one of the most feared symbols on the planet to a simple still life. The exhibition runs until 15 June. Warhol, who died in 1987, is widely regarded as one of the most influential modern artists of the 20th century.
