They are repelled by the tough barrier of the skin, overcome by the natural pesticides in sweat, saliva and tears, dissolved by stomach acids or trapped in the sticky mucus of the nose or throat before being expelled by a sneeze or a cough. But the organisms are extraordinarily persistent, and some occasionally breach the outer defenses. After entering the bloodstream and tissues, they multiply at an alarming rate and begin destroying vital body cells...

Even a bored 15-year-old cannot maintain her sangfroid in the face of such a host, and wrenches...

Enclosed were snapshots of two of Higgins' identity cards. The statement read: "We have caught the throat of the American serpent, criminal agent of the satanic CIA and one of the biggest spies, sowing daily terror in our land." Mindful that an earlier hostage, CIA Station Chief William Buckley, had been tortured to death by his abductors, the State Department denied any links between the kidnaped colonel and the U.S. intelligence services...
