...matter. Epstein is quite good at promoting himself. His new book carries blurbs from such diverse figures as George Will and Mariel Hemingway. In 2002, Epstein wrote an article for Psychology Today announcing he was trying to find a woman-a perfect stranger-to fall in love with.

Other U.N. officials speculated that Shevchenko had fallen in love with an American woman-a theory that gained credence when it was learned that his wife, Lengina, 48, had flown home two weeks ago, apparently after a violent quarrel with her husband. She took their teen-age daughter, Anna, with her and joined the couple's son, Gennadi, 25, an employee of the Soviet Foreign Ministry...
