...billion purchase of 650 planes at first, and perhaps another 400 planes later on. Although the Navy is looking closely at the Northrop jet, it too may decide to purchase a carrier version of the YF-16. Meanwhile, a consortium of four NATO allies-Belgium, The Netherlands, Norway and Denmark-is approaching a decision on whether to buy 350 of the planes. In the end, orders could total as many as 3,000 planes worth $15 billion...

Then, after his vanishing act in Miami, he flew to Melbourne, arriving on Nov. 27. The next day he left for Denmark via Singapore in order, he claims, to gauge the reaction to his disappearance in Europe and Britain. On Dec. 10, he returned to Australia, booking into a $45.50-a-week room at Melbourne's Centre City Club as Donald Mildoon. There were reports that he had $47,000 with...
