...could argue that all Gonzales did was zealously represent his client, the President. Gonzales apparently disagreed with Comey on the legality of the program, and he was just pressing his case to Ashcroft, albeit in a rather unseemly way. " The ethics rules let lawyers question each other's decisions," says Professor Nancy Rapoport, an ethics expert at the University of Houston law school. "It's just a little icky when you do it to someone who's in the hospital. But I don't think it rises to the level of anything that's actionable. I think it just fails...
Since then, Paravicini has mastered everything from classical to pop to avant-garde, but he always comes back to jazz. His conversation is still limited; in an interview over tea at Ockelford's London home, he mostly just repeats what's said to him, albeit with the confidence of a man who thought of it himself.

But the office carries huge symbolic importance, especially for the Turkish military, since one of the President's titles-albeit a ceremonial one-is commander-in-chief. The incumbent President, Ahmet Necdet Sezer, is a staunch secularist who was only too willing to wield his veto power to quash legislation and appointments he deemed too Islamist. As the ruling party, the AKP had a constitutional right to appoint one of its own to replace Sezer, and Erdogan came close...
