...border clashes, Iraq and Iran were at war, upsetting an already precarious balance in a volatile, politically unstable region that provides approximately 40% of the non-Communist world's oil and is a cockpit of superpower rivalry. "Whether it has been declared or not," said Iraqi Defense Minister Adnan Khairallah early on, "it is in fact war." The struggle escalated quickly and as it did, spread to key oil facilities on both sides-Basra, Kirkuk and Mosul in Iraq, Abadan and Kharg island in Iran. With thick black smoke pluming from bombed tank farms and refineries, petroleum-consuming nations...

The estranged, British-born wife of Billionaire Saudi Dealmaker Adnan Khashoggi, 44, and former mistress of British M.P. Winston Churchill, 39, refuses to say. She is, however, happy to discuss another private passion: photography. And in the seclusion of her Venice villa she has turned her Nikon on her favorite subject-herself.

He turned out to have an X-ellent name: Winston Churchill, 39, grandson of Britain's wartime Prime Minister. Since young Winston at the time was the Conservative Party's junior shadow defense minister, the disclosure raised questions. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher squelched them by informing...
Comforting yet another notable client was California Divorce Lawyer Marvin Mitchelson. She is doe-eyed Soraya Khashoggi, 33, wife of Adnan Khashoggi, 44, a Saudi Arabian entrepreneur whose business deals have earned him at least $4 billion. At 15, Soraya, born in England as Sandra Jarvis-Daly, changed her name and converted to Islam to wed Khashoggi. There followed five children and duties, she maintains, as his adviser and global representative. Then came a heartrending discoyery: he no longer loved her.
