How can I get SPSS data into R?

The best way to read any proprietary data into R is to open the data in its original program and export it as a .csv file. Read it into R with `read.csv`.

SPSS is better at converting SPSS file formats than R is at converting SPSS file formats (this fact is true for most programs).
