...life of a spy can have its high points. A natty dresser who bought his clothes in Regent Street, Oleg was known as a big spender who, according to one restaurateur, "thought nothing of picking up an £80 [$192] tab." He had a wife and seven-year-old son in Moscow, but British newspapers linked him with at least five women in London?an Israeli student, a Czech student, two English secretaries and "a gorgeous Russian blonde,"?Irina Teplyakova, thirtyish and the wife of another Soviet official. Oleg and Irina had been seen together in London restaurants...
...adoption agencies have changed their tactics. Instead of catering to childless parents in search of "perfect" white infants, many now concentrate on the needs of hard-to-place youngsters who are beyond infancy, physically or emotionally handicapped, black-or even all three.

Until recently, demand had been too small for automakers to set up an assembly-line procedure for making sun roofs; they still send many cars to the seven-year-old American Sunroof Co. of Southgate, Mich., where craftsmen cut a hole in the roof and install a sliding steel panel. But the market is expanding so swiftly that in January American Motors began making sun roofs on its own assembly lines...
...typical symptom is fear of leaving their parents. Twenty-five percent of schoolchildren in the affected area stayed home on the first day schools reopened; some, including Charisse, agreed to return only if their parents drove them to and from school. Says Secretary Joyce Shahin of her seven-year-old son: "He has got very clingy-he wants me to sit in the bathroom and talk while he takes a bath, and he wants to sit on the same chair with me." Afflicted adults show extreme exhaustion, an unusual need for emotional support, and inability to sleep...
