Last month, the short banking stint of Bank of England deputy governor Rupert Pennant-Rea came to an abrupt end after revelations that Pennant-Rea, who is married, had conducted a three-year affair with Mary Ellen Synon, who was a staffer at The Economist during Pennant- Rea's 1986-through-1993 stint as editor-in-chief. The relationship broke off last spring, but not before the two had trysts in such un- likely places as Bank of England governor Eddie George's private dressing room. Synon's "tell-all" came via "intimate" letters that she released to London's Sunday Mirror, which used them in a "Bonk of England" front-page story (March 20).
