Military commanders use terms like quick-reaction force or special ops when discussing his work, but mostly they convey its nature with knowing looks. Captain Mark, a pseudonym, simply says he has a "cool-guy job." However you describe him, you have only to study Captain Mark's travels in the past few years--Haiti, Georgia, Afghanistan--to work out what the bearded 33-year-old does. His 5th Special Forces Group "A team" of language specialists, weapons trainers, logistics men, forward bomb spotters...
Julia Quinn isn't who you think she is. For starters, she isn't really Julia Quinn. That's just a pseudonym she chose so her books would be shelved next to those of the best-selling romance writer Amanda Quick. What's more, she's not a little old lady with a dozen cats.

After raising an astounding $650 million from investors, he used 125 brokerage offices to manipulate his firm's shares. Under a pseudonym, he even wrote newspaper articles extolling the stock, which rose 370% before crashing in 2001. Lu bragged in an open letter that "the man who killed the bull market was once a common peasant." Last June, six of his cohorts went on trial, though no verdicts have yet been reached. Meanwhile...

Then in 1955 Chicago housewife Eppie Lederer took over the syndicated Ann Landers column from a recently deceased nurse who had been doling out tabloid therapy under that pseudonym. With witty, blunt pointers ("A father who diapers his daughter at the age of 12 has a geranium in his cranium"), a heartfelt respect for her readers and a willingness to change her mind, she earned an ardent following of 90 million readers. Dubbed the country's most influential woman...
