"I went to see Ghosn Zogby, the CIA's Beirut chief of station, who was carried by the American embassy as a first secretary, political...Zogby was a portly man whose collar and tie could barely contain his bulging neckline; the buttons running down his shirt seemed on the verge of popping. Forty years old, he had unmistakeable Levantine features that would have identified his ancestry even if he has not had a common Lebanese name. Showing him a copy of my orders, I joked that they were false. "My name," I said, "should appear in your files as Perry M. Chapworth, and I bring you greetings from Allen Dulles and Archie Roosevelt...(Zogby) stood up, and shook hands again, saying that his pseudonym was Kennard and that he was pleased to have a new KUBARK (note: CIA) hand aboard."
