With some of Bakker's followers clamoring for his return, Falwell talked openly of walking away from the troublesome mess. After some soul-searching, the Lynchburg, Va., preacher took decisive command, declaring that Bakker's "ministry here has ceased" and ordering a thorough housecleaning. The PTL board ended further pay to the Bakkers, who reportedly had drawn an astounding $4.6 million in compensation since 1984.

...with fraternizing with Soviet women. Another Leatherneck suspected of spying has been recalled from his station in Brazil, where he was living with a Russian woman he met during a tour of duty at the Moscow embassy; he is currently being held at the Marine base in Quantico, Va. As a result of such discoveries, the State Department has replaced five possibly tainted communications centers: in Moscow, Leningrad, Brasilia and two in Vienna, where the embassy was compromised twice by different Marine guards. The new units cost $5 million each...
