- <p> 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.
