...show off his clout last year, Spence took two clients and a pair of male prostitutes on a midnight July 4 tour of the White House.That same weekend, Spence gave Secret Service agent Ronald deGueldre, who arranged the tour, his $8,000 Rolex; deGueldre gave Spence his $22 Casio -- all out of friendship, says deGueldre. The agent's house in Virginia was searched last week for pieces of Truman china, a set of presidential cuff links and a tiepin that disappeared mysteriously after the tour.

After much difficulty, he has arranged a chat with two Tamil radicals. The pair are escorted to the writer's hotel room by two plainclothesmen. The luxurious Taj Coromandel is overrun by an international gathering of leather-goods manufacturers, and for all anyone can tell, Naipaul and his group could have just concluded an agreement to turn sacred cows into discount luggage. His reaction to the interview...
