I was visiting my hometown this weekend, & went to a used bookshop.  Not
the college-town type of used store:  textbooks on at most one shelf
and AISLES and AISLES of nurse/gothic/westerns.  
	And there I found it:  "I Was A Teeny-Bopper for the CIA",
by Ted Mark.  I spent the trip back regretting not buying it.
Not that I thought that it would be any good...but I'd love to
have it in my "pure tripe for now people" collection, right nxt
to my copies of "Operation: Super Ms." and "The Psychedelic Spy"
(by Andy Offutt and T.A. Waters, respectively).
