The mystery, however, was not solved by one bad showing of the Communists' greatest Olympics record-smasher...
Halsey, 73, snorted delightedly as he hammed up his disguised role of a distant predecessor, iron-men-and-wooden-ship Commodore John Paul Jones. After the show, Iron-Man Halsey took off his fancy duds, let down his hair to make a wooden confession: "I'll bet there was nobody in the war more scared, more often, and for as long...
