...Attorneys have pried mountains of discovery from the Administration about the dismissals, but Comey's recounting of that night offered a glimpse into the drama of dissent that took place long before Gonzales met his current troubles. It's tempting to find comfort in the fact that off-camera, at least, these powerful men had been so passionately divided over issues of law and liberty.

Atget mostly shunned these advances, using a bulky, large-format view camera on a tripod - and never any artificial light, even for interiors. He figured exposure times in his head - a relatively glacial 1/11th of a second was typical - and learned how to narrow the aperture to ensure that both background and foreground remained in focus. His genius...
...stepped behind the camera: "I love film sets, but I don't necessarily love being the center of attention," says Masterson. "As a director, I get to have a much broader creative expression than as an actress. I'm not just blond...
