...Terpil, 41, who had worked overseas for the agency as a communications technician. Wilson, known as "the ice-man" at the agency, was a cold yet charming operative who kept in gregarious touch with his CIA buddies. He often took Mulcahy along to suburban Washington bars, like the Rough Rider Lounge at the Ramada Inn in Tyson Corners, Va., where agents gathered. Mulcahy was convinced that his partner was still working "under deep cover...

When he was younger, he had his own system of breaking horses, first with a lunge line in the ring, then lying stomach-down across their backs, all the time emphasizing verbal commands. As he was explaining his approach, he burst into a sing-song chant from his cavalry days: "Walk ho-o!" he cried...
...recent years the Justice Department actually has exerted a moderating influence, seeking negotiated solutions to school segregation problems and insisting that forced busing be used only as a last resort. Indeed, the impact of the rider on department policy during the next four years would probably be rather academic, since a Reagan-appointed Attorney General could hardly be expected to press busing suits very vigorously...
