...King told almost no one that he had returned home intending to replace his brother. His deteriorating health, says a friend, tipped the job to Abdullah over the unseasoned Hamzah, who might have been seen as his American mother's puppet. When Hussein broadcast hints of a change two weeks ago, Hassan dashed off a letter pleading his case, adding "I submit to your will." The King responded by sending the army chief to tell his brother he was no longer destined for the throne...
...Howard Schultz, the chairman of Starbucks, and Len Riggio, the chairman of Barnes and Noble. Jane Eisner is rumored to be coming aboard, most likely as a proxy for her husband Michael, the Disney czar--a close Bradley friend who must stay neutral because Disney owns a federally regulated broadcast network, ABC.

...trial will thrust the Chief Justice into a unique role at a unique event riddled with contradictions. Rehnquist, one of the leading opponents of allowing TV cameras in the Supreme Court courtroom, will direct a proceeding that will be broadcast on national television coast to coast. And to make matters even more delicate, says McAllister "the Chief, who has made it a practice to run a tight ship at the Supreme Court, will be running a show during which senators can outvote him at any moment on any question of procedure or evidence." It's the opportunity of a lifetime...
