To the prying eyes of the KGB, she is merely a secretary; to her CIA minders, she is the only one who can stop the flow of nuclear weapons from the crumbling Soviet Union into the Middle East. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e For Mel has a secret; she is a \"super recognizer,\" someone who never forgets a face.
