...Newton-John, and it is totally predictable that whatever he does, he will win back sweet little Sandy. Only Sandy decides to go part of the way around to Danny's side before the marriage is complete. Unfortunately, the sight of Olivia Newton-John poured into a tight black outfit with her hair frizzed out and a cigarette rather tenuously balanced off her lower lip is too much to take...

The tale began as Martha Peterson, 32, a tall, blonde vice consul in the U.S. embassy in Moscow, drove her car to a deserted street in the Soviet capital.
