...obituary read like the opening page of a spy novel. Mikhail Yevgenyevich Orlov, alias Glenn Michael Souther, who had "made a large contribution" to Soviet state security, had "died suddenly" at 32. For the KGB leadership committee, which signed the article in the military newspaper Red Star last week, Orlov's death was a "huge loss."

...surprising show of glasnost, General Vladimir Kryuchkov, head of the KGB, hurried to correct that impression. Yes, he told reporters in Moscow, Orlov was Souther, who first surfaced in the Soviet Union last July claiming that the FBI had been harassing him. "I lost my future," he said.

...long and sometimes bumpy ride. Her pal J.D. Souther, a pretty fair hand at writing a ballad himself (Prisoner in Disguise), liked to play Frank Sinatra's 1958 album for her, Only the Lonely. She also listened a lot to the extensive collection of vintage records owned by another friend, Author Pete Hamill. But it was not until the summer of 1980, listening one weekend to a Mildred Bailey record ("She sounds very pure and sexy at the same time-a sexy Snow White") at the home of Producer Jerry Wexler, that Ronstadt first hit on the idea...
When Stiles arrived at the "Big H" he boasted a 14-ft. 6-in. personal best and a number ten ranking among high school vaulters in Souther California...
