Until now, the definitive account of the leak case was the one offered by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald last month when he announced the indictment of vice-presidential chief of staff I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice.

But last week Woodward introduced another mystery leaker who had identified the CIA connection of Wilson's wife even earlier, in mid-June...
...delays and squabbles mean that Congress's $62.3 billion largesse has mostly gone unspent. More than half--$37.5 billion--is sitting in FEMA's account, waiting for a purpose.

Rousseau was born in 1712 when Geneva—now Switzerland’s second-largest city—was still a stand-alone republic. After an eventful but unpromising early life, he gravitated toward the Parisian philosophe culture and wrote a string...
...busy career on the way, however: Chang’s short stories have appeared in “The Atlantic Monthly” and “Best American Short Stories 1994.” Her novel, “Inheritance,” is a prosaic multi-generational account of a family under the backdrop of China’s Civil War. Spanning decades of political history, “Inheritance” also presents the far more personal story of two sisters. These two sisters, Junan and Yinan, grow up together during China’s Cultural Revolution...
