At the delivery entrance of Paris' U.S. embassy, at the private billets of American officials, at some 400 service clubs and European restaurants, McLane's trucks roll up with everything from fresh celery to fresh caviar, from pineapple to pretzels.

And there is also the Burgess counterpart of this story-Kevin Chalmers-whose chichi accent is cruelly transcribed: "I'd just had about four gallons of a positively toxic firedamp called a Gibson ..." Chalmers is not only a drunk who has been kicked out of the British embassy in Washington (as was Burgess), but a pervert and a brawler. Chance, security officers, and their own folly put him and Gleave in the same boat, headed for anonymity and dishonor...
