...messengers have been Swiss diplomats. But last week a flood of light on the back channels disclosed the activities of a collection of surprising messengers: an Argentine fixer, a leftist French lawyer, and White House Chief of Staff Hamilton Jordan. Disguised as a middle-aged man, with a gray wig, mustache and tinted glasses, the 35-year-old Jordan has traveled several times to Europe for clandestine meetings with go-betweens...
...star is discovered, between acts, in his dressing room. He is wearing a Viking's helmet, complete with horns, over a wig of lank brown hair, a corset over a lace shirt.

Unfortunately for the tri-captain, the paint didn't come off completely and she walked around with a five o'clock shadow...
...Nobel Prize in physics. Had you glanced to your right some ten yards back, you would have been looking into the anteroom of the office of one of the others, Professor Steven Weinberg. His office is much like what you'd expect from a university big wig--carpeting, bound journals and paneling lend it an aura of the esoteric altogether absent in his neighbor...
