...between her and the man who'd just been outed by a blue dress, she barely spoke to anyone, least of all to him. There was no celebrity-clogged birthday dinner, no golf, no singing Gershwin around the piano as in years past. It was, officially, a "healing" vacation, broken up by speeches asking for forgiveness. It looked like two weeks of root canal...
...only 36. It's not surprising that the Republican presidential hopeful would want to end the story there, with his release from a Vietnamese POW camp after 5 1/2 years of captivity. His Vietnam saga is, to say the least, riveting: try to imagine being strung up by your broken arms, beaten senseless by your captors and, then, when they offer you the chance to go home, saying no because it would be dishonorable to leave ahead of those captured before you.

Not a good time for a Taiwan-born scientist to have broken so serious a rule. But Bob Vrooman?s heart isn?t bleeding, says Shannon ?- this outburst is more about covering Vrooman?s rear than saving Lee?s. "He was head of counterintelligence at a time when security at DOE was very sloppily run, and for him to say there were no significant problems is self-serving," she says. "Does Bill Richardson...
