First prize went to Fred Gold en for his Sept. 4, 1978, story...
Last week, sitting in his long, gold-carpeted office overlooking the Capitol, Schlesinger stoutly rejected criticism of his performance. He had his familiar rumpled look, shirttail out, socks limp over his ankles, but as he got up to stand by the window, his tall, flat body looked powerful.

Miriam served as an all-purpose decoy: to help steal ?12,000 worth of gold ingots, she had to pose successively as a French courtesan, a cockney seamstress and an old beggar. Down turns each impersonation into a polished comic nugget; she swings effortlessly in and out of her various roles.
