...Theresa puts it, "one of us." After a liberal tip for their comrade in arms, their resources are a bit depleted. Brassy Theresa gets the bright idea of lifting the wallet of a wealthy Middle Eastern who asks for a slow dance at the first stop of their pub-hopping journey. Little do they suspect that lover boy is going to check his funds while the two are powdering their noses, so a quick get away in his 450 SEL, conveniently parked outside the door, is in order...

McFarlane soon found the task frustrating. After getting along well at first with Secretary of State George Shultz, a rift developed over McFarlane's growing assertiveness in pub- lic appearances. McFarlane confided to intimates that he thought CIA Director William Casey had outstayed his usefulness and that Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger was not adroit at anything other than advocating defense spending. He is known to have told friends that he was getting tired of "trying to move all these elephants around...
