Milton Eisenhower, the last of that remarkable cluster of Kansas boys, turned 80 the other day and wished he could sculpt a U.S. President out of proven parts. He would weld his brother Dwight's heart bone to Franklin Roosevelt's head bone. What a work of political art that might be, he chuckles...

Over the next ten weeks, his relatives and lawyers reported receiving letters-and even a photograph-that supposedly proved that he had been abducted by Italian leftist radicals. But police in the U.S. and Italy suspected that the missing man, Sicilian-born Financier Michele Sindona, 59, had arranged his own disappearance to avoid standing trial in New York on a 99-count indictment for bank fraud and in Milan on charges of swindling two banks...
