...since 1975 who had never won but had finished second three times, was assured the $90,000 first prize even before he made a putt to force a playoff with Verplank. The kid was only eligible to play for a trophy. In a grill at Boston's Logan Airport, where a television set was tuned to the Western Open, senior golfers who had been completing their own competition in nearby Concord trickled in from the final round. One greeted the other who hailed the next. "Come look at this, the kid's got a chance." The room thickened with...
...trench coat and bounding up the stairs of the plane. As he neared the top, he turned and gave a wide wave, as if bidding farewell to friends. Though his behavior seemed unexceptional, even banal, that was no ordinary traveler boarding the Aeroflot jet at Dulles Airport last week. He was Vitaly Yurchenko, the Soviet KGB agent who had disappeared from a Rome street one sunny day last summer and turned up several weeks later as a defector in CIA hands.

The Lloyds have not reclaimed their luggage at the Paris airport before Walter is forced to dispatch a thug sent to murder him. In a matter of hours he is giving Junior, who has the innocent courage, clumsiness and distractibility of a puppy, a much needed basic course in espionage field operations. It is clear that being a spy is rather like riding...
...works out of Bogotá, was already on the story. As the death toll mounted, Mader decided to send Rio de Janeiro Bureau Chief Gavin Scott, who was covering Halley's comet, to Bogotá to join the TIME team. Unlike Mexico City immediately after its earthquake, Bogotá had a functioning airport and telex and telephone lines were intact. Still, to get to the Nevado del Ruiz area, Diederich had to hitch a ride on a Colombian helicopter carrying fuel to the disaster area...
