08 September 08

Yesterday, September 7, marked the thirtieth anniversary of one of the all-time best spy anecdotes in all history (known to me): While walking across Waterloo Bridge in London, Bulgarian dissident Georgi Markov is assassinated by Bulgarian secret police agent Francesco Giullino by means of a ricin pellet fired from in a specially-designed umbrella. Seriously.

This tie is from the International Spy Museum, in Washington, DC.
