...memos in the Tower report reveal both Ollie the dutiful Marine and Ollie the renegade cowboy. The commission found that North kept National Security Adviser John Poindexter "exhaustively informed" of his actions through a computer network they code-named "Private Blank Check."

In a phone call two weeks ago, the President offered the PM a "proposition on a matter of importance and some common concern to the people of both our nations." He bet "my favorite cowboy hat" on the U.S. entry. Hawke responded by putting a wide-brimmed bush hat on the Kookaburra. Whoever wins, all hats will be off to the men of both teams.
