Almost every night, we get the pleasure of seeing the person from whom we are subletting stumbling through the room late at night to connect her computer to the phone line or to make tea. If it hadn’t been for a generous friend staying in Washington who let me borrow a surplus mattress from the dorm room he’s renting for the summer, I’d be sleeping directly on the floor. This...

...center is trying to do what it could not do before: pluck obscure bits of information from the flood of often irrelevant or insignificant data and connect the dots to foil a major new attack. CIA scientists are investigating exotic supercomputer programs and artificial intelligence that might help analysts link hundreds of thousands of names, places and bank accounts. Teams have even been sent to pick the brains of Hollywood scriptwriters who dream up far-fetched terror spectaculars. When the analysts return to Langley, they comb their databases to see if al-Qaeda has the capability to carry out such...
