...says he decided to apply for the IOP fellowship during his last year in Israel, after Washington Post columnist David Broder, a former fellow, recommended the program...
Newspaper office computers are frequent targets for prying. One reason: news organizations make extensive use of open telephone lines to transmit and receive electronic messages. In addition, notes Geoffrey Stokes, press columnist for New York City's Village Voice, "We are all professional snoops." Stokes' columns frequently contain items leaked to him from the computers of the large New York dailies.

A close adviser to Meese for seven years, both in the White House and at the Justice Department, Cribb, 38, has a reputation as a tough ideological infighter with a hair-trigger temper.

Reagan was so irked at the Dragon Lady image that he broke his rule of silence during a photo session to denounce the Nancy stories as "despicable fiction" by people who "should be ashamed of themselves." Friends rushed to the First Lady's defense. "Rubbish," said Columnist George Will of the flood of press accounts. The First Lady shrugged off the accusations as "ridiculous." Indeed, while she is by no means bashful about offering advice to her husband, the evidence indicates that she is not quite so all-powerful as the Regan affair suggested. The President resisted sacking...
