...begun acting even more irrational. Several times he had told the men in the cockpit: "When you go, you shouldn't go alone. You should take as many people and as much money as possible. Never go alone." When Williams asked if he could doff his jacket, Barkley replied, "Sure, might as well go down in comfort." Still aching for his $100 million, however, he gave ground authorities one more chance to raise the cash, which was to be in 100 sacks full of bills of not less than $100 denominations placed along the runway at Dulles.

...picture him pining away in unrequited loneliness. Far from it. In the bachelor's make-out paradise of New York, Robert is making out. A hilarious and deftly convincing seduction scene finds him in bed with a loquacious airline stewardess whose final act of disrobing is to doff her bellboy-style hat.

Ghostly music emanates from unseen speakers; colored lights flicker over the ceiling and walls. New arrivals are led to platforms, helped into their own translucent togas and encouraged to doff as many of their clothes as they wish. Stereo headphones are fitted by a delicate-fingered attendant, and plugged into the center of the platform; plastic pillows are passed out. Wordless gestures suggest that instant relaxation is the order...
