- <p> SPIES LIKE THEM. Two weeks ago, Spy magazine sent two
- reporters out to tail Senator Edward Kennedy and Republican
- Party chief Lee Atwater for an expose of their liberated
- life-styles. Instead Spy's spies got exposed. Taking the least
- clandestine approach, they talked to just about every reporter
- in the capital for tips. Naturally, Kennedy and Atwater got
- wind of the plot and spent the most chaste week of their lives,
- barely leaving their desks for lunch. Meanwhile, the reporters
- missed the biggest sex-and-drug story of the year when Mayor
- Marion Barry was arrested on the seventh floor of the Vista
- International Hotel, just down the hall from where the intrepid
- duo were staying.
