THE WEEK, Page 26MISCELLANYThe Brits Come Clean
Snoozing M.P.s perked up when British Prime Minister John
Major made an unexpected disclosure last week. During a
parliamentary speech, Major declared the existence of MI6,
Britain's international espionage agency. Although volumes have
been written about the 83-year-old spy ring, bureaucrats have
always maintained the polite pretense that the organization
didn't exist. Major also named Sir Colin McColl as the division's
long-standing head. Britain's Who's Who currently lists the MI6
chief as a counsellor in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office who
enjoys cycling, tennis and the classics.
