That message soon became a recurrent refrain. In 1982, when his latest amour, Magdalena Kopp, a German Red Army Faction member, was arrested in Paris in a car loaded with explosives, Carlos penned a letter to the French embassy at the Hague, stamped with his thumbprints. It warned, "I will take up the matter personally with the French government" unless Kopp and a fellow conspirator were released within 30 days. Two months later, the car bomb went off for which Carlos now stands trial. According to the French daily Le Monde, one of the two lawyers he retained last week...
This week I was flooded with letters regarding that notorious walking disaster of amour, Captain XY, Esq. For those of you who haven't been keeping up with my column (for shame!), the Captain has become a 'regular contributor' to this feature. His adventures on the high seas of heartbreak have vexed me.

This no-name affair is a last tango in Saigon -- but with the man in thrall, not in control. The girl, who insists she is having sex only because the money her lover gives her helps support her family, knows the stronger partner is always the one who loves less. The man (Tony Leung, a wonderful Hong Kong actor) is singed, happily, by the flame of his ardor. His naked vulnerability is just...
