...getting hold of Chandra's cell-phone records in late May and seeing about 20 calls to the same number, Susan Levy dialed it, listened to the soft music and instructions to punch in her number. When she did, she says, she wasn't surprised that California Representative Gary Condit phoned back--she was almost certain his relationship with her daughter was more than professional. But Condit was surprised. They spoke briefly and awkwardly and haven't talked since. "I don't care who she was sleeping with," Susan Levy says. "I care where she is. I want...
...Condit slipped out of sight about May 10, avoiding reporters who had staked out his office and his apartment in the Adams-Morgan section of Washington, canceling a fund raiser and rushing off after accompanying President Bush to Sequoia National Park. The married Democrat, 53, has not said a word publicly but has issued written statements through his staff.

If it were not for the business about the Congressman, Gary Condit of California - made more titillating by his evasiveness - Chandra would have disappeared from the newspapers almost as abruptly as she vanished from her Washington apartment...
...next big corporate sweepstakes is on, and the contestants can commence begging. Although Condit says the company isn't just shopping for tax breaks and other incentives, he won't have to--the states and cities will come running, money in hand. Dallas offers a tax-free state, a business-friendly government and proximity to big customers American and Southwest. And because Boeing is fighting to win the contract for the next generation JSF fighter, its cause wouldn't be hurt by locating in the home state of the President, so the theory goes...
