...Boursan, who apparently reported to his superiors in London that Gaddafi was a young leader of promise. There is no evidence that the agency encouraged Gaddafi at any point, but it seems clear that Gaddafi was intrigued by and attracted to the kind of rough-and-tumble, Marlboro-loner cowboy American who occasionally worked for the CIA in the Arab world, and who more commonly represented the smaller oil companies in the area. Representatives of the oil firms with interests in Libya insist that Gaddafi has always treated them with courtesy and respect, even as his political relations with...
Pharaoh (Tom Carder) is an Elvis Presley look-alike in a white suit and gold-and-white rhinestone-studded shoes. Joseph's brothers put on cowboy hats and overalls for a country and western song in one scene, sombreros for a Mexican mariachi number in another.

When they break again, the copter sets down, Crawford leaps out and waves them back on the trail...
...graced the stage as a sailor, a fawn, a prince, a cowboy and a Greek god. But if anything is going to keep New York City Ballet Star Edward Villella, 45, on his toes, it will be his current role as Visiting Artist at West Point. During one recent appearance on campus, Villella surveyed an aerobic dance class from the sidelines, then took the cadets through the same motions, ballet-style. "They were skeptical at first," says Edward, "but after a while everybody loosened up. Even the plebes were laughing...
