Damascus, Syria, 1974: Hidden KGB cameras click softly, and a secret microphone records the tender dialogue as an Arab diplomat dallies with a male paramour in the city's infamous Turkish baths. Threatened afterward with disclosure of his homosexuality, the diplomat agrees to pass information...
...detective on the case suspects that the best of the rustled nags are sold for as much as 400 per lb. (large stallions bring $450), trucked to Canada, butchered and shipped to Europe. There, horse meat is welcomed by discriminating continental eaters, who consider it juicier, tastier and more tender than expensive beef. France has more than 1,000 boucheries hippophagiques (horse meat shops); some restaurants in Belgium and Switzerland specialize in horse meat.

Accepting the inevitable, Andreotti last week convened a farewell Cabinet meeting and drove to the Quirinale Palace to tender his resignation to President Giovanni Leone.

He has his one big meal of the day, in the American style, between six and seven o'clock: because of his tender stomach, it is normally a dish of simple, boiled food-this time macaroni imported from Italy and rice. Every evening without fail, Sadat schedules two movies, mostly American westerns; he watches them, usually alone, in his pajamas. He leads an ungaudy life, really, but Sadat's comfortable residences and stylish clothes-as well as his glamorous wife-have drawn disapproving mutters from the public...
