Ok, this is definitely going to rule this thread.
I am the only ILXor who witnessed the president of Mexico's daughters being spirited away from an American boarding school because Mexico gave the Shah of Iran asylum.
1980, I think.
It was very weird.
or maybe it was a former president of Mexico... anyway. the CIA came in to the dorm and literally carried them away.
Because their lives were in danger once the asylum had been granted, so they were, I suppose, flown directly to Mexico.
I don't remember their names.
I remember being woken up to allow the "spiriting away" of the girls, and being impressed with the efficiency that the agents had with packing. It was all over in minutes.

**I'm probably the only ILXor who has had dinner with Dudley Moore, Patrick Lichfield, and Tiff Needell (not at the same time)**
Goodness!
Why did I read that as
Patrick Moore? He'd be fun though.
