...good spy needs a good cover, and Hanssen had one of the best. He looked the quintessential suburban dad, devoted to his wife and six kids, working a government job to pay for a four-bedroom split-level house on a cul-de-sac in a modest Virginia neighborhood, Catholic school and college for the kids, and three aging cars. Neighbors often saw him walking through a neighborhood park at night, letting his dog romp, though he rarely stopped to chat. He piled the family into a van every Sunday for Mass at the same church FBI boss Louis Freeh...
...woman dying of cancer, Terry Sanborn didn't seem to suffer. She and her unemployed husband Stephen lived on Medicaid and $512 a month in Social Security in a quiet blue-collar cul-de-sac in tiny Bangor, Maine. But they managed to pay $78,000 in cash for that roomy house at the bottom of Hershey Avenue, with a swing set in the backyard. They forked over an additional $17,000 for a Ford Econoline van. Not until drug agents raided the place did neighbors know how they were able to afford...

The best thing he could say is something simpler: Then and now. Then, unemployment was high and so were deficits. Now it's not. Leave aside the question of whether the Clinton administration deserves credit or not. This is his strongest argument for being elected. He can either make it or not. So far, he's finally starting...
...lawyer for Martin Luther King Jr. and the civil rights people, was bombed not long after that. I remember driving by there and seeing all the damage. Yes, it was scary. The men in the community, my father among them, would go to the head of the cul-de-sac at night and sit there armed to keep night riders from coming through...
