...Illinois, where he kept to himself. "We were not real buddy- buddy," says his sister Mildred Nation. "We minded our own business." Winning a commission in the Army in 1931, Doole learned how to fly airplanes. He later became a pilot for Pan Am, at first flying old Ford Tri-motors on the Guatemala-to-Panama run. Along about 1953--no one seems quite sure when --Doole made an unusual career move. He went to work for the Central Intelligence Agency...
...even television shows Republican or Democratic? Gerald Ford and Henry Kissinger both did their bits for Dynasty. Tip O'Neill appeared on Cheers three years ago, and now so has Gary Hart. When the producers of the popular Boston barroom series were casting a three-part season-closing episode involving politicians, they invited the Colorado Democrat to do an eight-line walk-on as himself.

Swindell-Dressler helped build the Kama River Truck plant which also produces vehicles used by the Red Army in Afghanistan. The Bryant Chucking Grinder Company of Vermont sold the Kremlin the ball bearings without which the construction...
...York Yankees Owner George Steinbrenner would find the business of baseball risky enough. Think again. Last week Steinbrenner was at the starting gate of Florida's Pompano Park Harness Raceway, sitting in a sulky alongside such sporting celebs as Writer George Plimpton and Yankee Hall of Famer Whitey Ford. "When you become a businessman you become stagnant in some ways," explains Steinbrenner, who owns a trotter and a pacer. "You don't do as many of the exciting and dangerous things you used to do. It was skydiving or this." Of course, if Steinbrenner is still thrill seeking after winning...
