Oh, as an aside, in my 20's I dated a woman in her 40's, who told me she had been plucked from her college to go to a language school in Arlington. She then went to Italy, where she stayed for 6 years. One time, she admitted that she had actually killed someone in Italy, a "spy" as she put it. She also met her (American) "husband" in Italy but promptly got divored upon return to the states.

I put 2+2+2+2 together, and told her she was a CIA operative stationed in Italy. She strongly denied it. Too strongly, actually.

So one day, I said, "Hey. I know you were never in the CIA. But you might have made some contacts in Arlington when you were there. Can you ask around and see if I could join up with the CIA as an operative?" She smirked a little, but said nothing.

Three months later, she said, "Just got word from an old contact. It's a no-go. You come from a broken, one-parent family. That's a disqualifier."

We never spoke of her CIA days again, but we both knew.
