...article of faith, it's touching. As a core principle of the wired age--the free-flow of information--it's the one thing that holds our vision of this complex character together. And if it doesn't always work out in reality as Gates the author imagines it will--if Gates the defendant doesn't much resemble the portrait he painted in those bold brush strokes--that's hardly surprising. Few of us ever...
...shout to be heard.

Instead, he's leading the rewarding life of pundit-about-town, with the requisite gig as a commentator (Fox News Channel) and rumored romance with a blond (Sex in the City author Candace Bushnell). Last week he announced his latest venture: "Dear Alfonse," a political advice column for George magazine, the publication edited by JOHN KENNEDY JR.
