...Ghali brings strong qualifications to the $202,346-a-year post. He is an expert in international law and comes with a 21-page curriculum vitae replete with degrees, decorations and scholarly writings in three languages. After Anwar Sadat brought him into political life in 1974, Ghali became a key negotiator in the Camp David peace process, and he has helped mediate many quarrels among African nations...
...never give him a sense of self-respect. In 1979 he joined the Kansas City Royals as promotion director, where he made many friends (George Brett wears a DITTO T shirt at batting practice) but was still restless. "In 1982," he recalls, "I was looking at a $35,000-a-year job selling potato chips in Liberty, Mo., as Nirvana. But I didn't get the job."

She and her husband, Brent, a bank officer, decided that Betsy and their infant son Andrew needed more parental attention if they were going to develop the right sort of values. Marsha explained, "I found myself wondering, How wealthy do we need...
...home of then President-elect Carter, and the rotund personage of Carter confidant Bert Lance. In deep financial trouble with his National Bank of Georgia and beset by regulators for past banking indiscretions, Lance was all too glad to be put on B.C.C.I.'s payroll as a $100,000-a-year consultant. Abedi declared Lance was his "unofficial ambassador . . . brought in to give us a vision of the U.S." and insisted "we would never talk about exploiting his relationship with the President...
