...Marine with a boyish face and the beginning of a paunch, Zaccaro quit Fordham Law School before gaining a degree to enter his father's successful real estate business, Paul Zaccaro Co., Inc. Acting on behalf of a wealthy client, the company tried to purchase the Empire State Building in New York City during the 1950s. That bid failed, and the since concentrated on lucrative commercial properties in Lower Manhattan, including Greenwich Village. "I still have to work for a living," says Zaccaro. "My life has been the real estate business. I've always loved it. The thrill...

Dougherty describes him as the kind of spy who is motivated by a simple desire for "money and adventure...
Just a few weeks ago, Gaylord Perry changed big-league uniforms for the eighth time without feeling too sentimental. The most elderly player in either league at nearly 45, he presumably could find work more appropriate to his gray hair and accumulating paunch. "For me, it's a pretty good job and it pays well-that's why I'm still playing. I love it, but everyone has to work." Although Perry's figures are in splendid order (312 victories, 3,506 strikeouts), some spitballing he did in his memoirs a few years ago could delay...
