Three days later, Hart, who detests flying, left on a 28,000-mile trip by bomber. Into two months he had to pack the experience of 15. Using a fake name and wearing a phony uniform, he tasted basic training in Mississippi, sampled college training in Missouri, took classification tests in California.

...Kakul, Afghanistan, to President Warren G. Harding. Last week fast-talking Stephen Weinberg, who has pretended for 30 years to be assorted fascinating people, was arrested again.
