The impending sandwich crisis may be averted, however. From Texas, which also helps fill the oil gap, comes a substitute spread that sticks to roofs of mouths as fondly as the real stuff.

But behind that disheveled appearance lay a keen and free-wheeling mind that, by war's end, enabled him to put together a network of 150 agents in Nazi Germany. Now, after a highly successful career as tax lawyer, businessman and Government official, William Joseph Casey, 67, still looking rumpled in the best-quality dark blue suit, is returning to his first profession, as director of Central Intelligence...
