...advantage in Byng's line of work. At least five major London houses turned Pi down, and although Faber and Faber had made an offer equal to Canongate's, Martel says that it was Byng's personality that made him sign with the Edinburgh outfit. "He's a nonstop genius, with this unbelievable level of energy," Martel says. "I would have gone with him even if they had offered less. They did really well by me."

In a pairing some observers thought was odd, Scowcroft joined Wolfowitz last week on a 20-hour nonstop flight to Singapore, where the Deputy Secretary was giving a speech at a three-day security conference (Scowcroft had been invited to attend the same meeting as a delegate). The accommodations were cozy: Scowcroft was the sole private citizen to spend the long flight in Wolfowitz's private quarters. Some...
