Haha! Good one!
I too had some light up. I went back and read the names again. Thomas Woods.
Yes, maybe the exchange isn't the exchange it appears to be. We aren't exchanging the Russians from big places as DC or places more important as it seems but from Washington State isn't it? Hold on..what if its an exchange of mutual interest? We are trading information needed that both countries want. Our informants in exchange for their informants.
In general, one makes an even trade of pieces in order to prevent the enemy piece from becoming too active or to give you time to accomplish another task. Other even trades turn out to be far from even, in that an exchange leads to a very clear positional, tactical, or even defensive gain. In this lesson, a possible trade may ...not lead to something concrete. It's up to you to judge whether or not this is the case...chess
Did more searching on that:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_Rigby
Excerpts
“...McCartney said he came up with the name “Eleanor” from actress Eleanor Bron, who had starred with the Beatles in the film Help!. “Rigby” came from the name of a store in Bristol, “Rigby & Evens Ltd, Wine & Spirit Shippers”, which he noticed while seeing his girlfriend of the time, Jane Asher, act in The Happiest Days of Your Life [11]. He recalled in 1984, “I just liked the name. I was looking for a name that sounded natural. ‘Eleanor Rigby’ sounded natural.”
However, it has been pointed out that the graveyard of St Peter’s Church in Liverpool, where John Lennon and Paul McCartney first met at the Woolton Village garden fete in the afternoon of 6 July 1957, contains the gravestone of an individual called Eleanor Rigby. McCartney conceded he may have been subconsciously influenced by the name on the gravestone.[12]
In 2008, however, he appeared to discard this theory. That year, when a birth certificate was sold at auction of a woman named Eleanor Rigby, with seller and buyer believing it belonged to the person referenced in the song, McCartney publicly declared: “Eleanor Rigby is a totally fictitious character that I made up.” He added, “If someone wants to spend money buying a document to prove a fictitious character exists, that’s fine with me.” [13] The real Eleanor Rigby lived a lonely life similar to that of the woman in the song.[14]...”
“... An actual Eleanor Rigby was born on 29 August 1895 and lived in Liverpool, possibly in the suburb of Woolton, where she married a man named Thomas Woods on Boxing Day 1930. She died on 10 October 1939 of a brain haemorrhage at the age of 44 and was buried three days later. Regardless of whether this Eleanor was the inspiration for the song or not, her tombstone has become a landmark to Beatles fans visiting Liverpool. A digitised version was added to the 1995 music video for the Beatles’ reunion song “Free as a Bird”.
In June 1990, McCartney donated to Sunbeams Music Trust[27] a document dating from 1911 which had been signed by the 16-year-old Eleanor Rigby; this instantly attracted significant international interest from collectors because of the coincidental significance and provenance of the document.[28] The nearly 100-year-old document was sold at auction in November 2008 for £115,000.[29] The Daily Telegraph reported that the uncovered document “is a 97-year-old salary register from Liverpool City Hospital”. The name “E. Rigby” is printed on the register, and she is identified as a scullery maid. She also did many things for the Liverpool City Hospital...”
So there you have it, if Paul was telling the truth about his muse. Likelihood of a bunny hole here is slim to none, I guess...at least without further data.

I know, right?
Bagster, we need you to cue up the Twi Zo chimes!
Wow. Now there’s another layer!
Great post!
I am wondering if the Bridge refers to the Federal Bridge which is a crypto communication protocol.
Maybe he was only thinking as far as Congress, where cultivation of an air of novelty would be helpful. Once the brass ring of the Presidency came into view, he shifted to Kenyan father, Hawaiian birth.
A fight for the very domination of the human race.
And we got a front row seat. Well, maybe loge seating .
Pass the popcorn.

ALSO:
The churchyard is in Lennon’s neighborhood.
“... In a neat churchyard in the leafy Liverpool district of Woolton, however, lies the final resting place of the real Eleanor Rigby - the woman widely regarded as the subconscious inspiration behind the classic song.
It was here, at the St Peter’s Church fete, that John Lennon and Paul McCartney met for the first time.
The church is a stone’s throw from Lennon’s childhood home on Menlove Avenue. He sang in the choir and frequently played in the graveyard, which he referred to with characteristic irreverence as the ‘bone orchard’....”
About the real Eleanor:
“...It was not until the age of 35 - positively ancient in those days - that she was eventually married to Thomas Woods, a railway foreman 17 years her senior.
The marriage, witnessed by her half-sister Hannah, was a joyous occasion but her happiness was not to last long.
Eleanor proved incapable of bearing children - a source of great heartbreak - and on October 10, 1939, a month after the outbreak of World War II, she suffered a massive brain hemorrhage.”
AND FWIW Census info about the actual Eleanor family line - actually kind of interesting if you go for that kind of thing.....[Q we desperately need a Drop from you! Look what we are reduced to!]

I have been aware of that as well, tang-soo, but had forgotten about AC being on that cover.
LOL! Now that’s just WRONG!
Good job! THANK Q
Peter Asher & Gordon Waller. Brother of Jane. They were often given unrecorded Lennon–McCartney songs to perform, most notably their first and biggest hit, "A World Without Love" (1964).
(Asher achieved his greatest success producing a long string of multi-platinum albums for James Taylor, including Sweet Baby James, JT and Flag, and for Linda Ronstadt)
I saw them in Louisville in the 60's.
Qx's boss--owner of the world's best private collection of such and the best global expert on such--pamphlets, posters, broadsides, leaflets etc. pre-Hitler's rise--noted that it was the most flaky, fringe, off-the-wall groups who most accurately and earliest declared who Hitler was and what he would do.
People ignorantly and stupidly fail to appreciate the import of that FACT.
