Now Wesley-Jessen, a Chicago-based lens manufacturer, has become the first U.S. firm to market a lens that lightens dark eyes, turning them blue, aqua or green.

Buckley in fatigues and beret: "Disappointing . . . is a distinctively English, meiotic expression." Wherever Oakes settles in, a pair of alluring hazel eyes cannot be far away. This time they are blinked by Catalina Urrutia, a Cuban translator, moralist and flirt. After the requisite tango, the CIA man and the beautiful bilinguist end up in the percales. Heavy breathing leads to weighty revelations, and the smitten Catalina shows Blackford her ultimate secret...
