The son of an eccentric Arabist, Philby entered Communism's orbit while at Cambridge in the 1930s. Carefully disguising those links, he joined Britain's SIS and rose high enough in its ranks to rate consideration as its potential chief.

...estimate puts the budgetary red ink at close to $130 billion. But numbers cannot convey the political timidity of the President and Congress in stubbornly holding the line against a tax hike, protecting most entitlements and refusing to make more than token trims in domestic and defense outlays. The Rose Garden agreement, in short, has spawned a Sixteen Tons budget that, to paraphrase the 1950s Tennessee Ernie Ford hit, will just leave the Government "another year older and deeper in debt...
