Everyone - the heroes, the villains, the cia operatives (who are a little of both) - has everyone else?s phone number, and they?re constantly ringing each other up to express malice and menace. They never get a wrong number or voice mail or an automated voice telling them to try their call later...
...know as the singular odor of an FFV; rancid on the nose, with a strong blood and slime character, offering hints of diesel and clove cigarettes.

So for now donations (54,000 soccer balls from the U.S. State Department) and a sort of international buddy system (Ali is sparring in the U.S.; the weight lifters have trained in Romania) are picking...
