Part A says a government official with access to classified information about covert personnel who intentionally exposes an operative, knowing that the U.S. "is taking affirmative measures to conceal" the operative's identity, can face up to 10 years in prison or a $50,000 fine or both. A similar section applies the same standard, but with lesser penalties, to an official who has security clearance in one area, learns the identity of a covert operative in another area, and intentionally discloses...

The strictly observant women dress to conceal their elbows and knees and cover their shorn hair with wigs. Members of tightly knit, Yiddish-speaking Hasidic communities, under the virtually absolute sway of a grand rabbi, preserve a way of life that began long ago in Eastern Europe...
...could have proved valuable to the federal probe of accounting fraud by its client Enron Corp. The high court simply found fault with the instructions Judge Melinda Harmon gave the jury at the prosecution's request.
