When Senator Mark Dayton shut down his Washington office last week, ostensibly out of concern for his staff's safety, many on Capitol Hill wondered if the Minnesota Democrat knew something everyone else didn't. The answer, it turns out, is far from it. Dayton last month received the same briefing as his fellow Senators about a CIA worst-case scenario involving simultaneous terrorist attacks across the country. Yet he apparently took the hypothetical threat as an imminent one. "Most people who heard the briefing," sniffs an intelligence official, "understood the context. It was theoretical...
...Bulldogs looked awful against Cornell last weekend and struggled against mid-major Dayton the week before. Quarterback Alvin Cowan has yet to show why he was mentioned as an All-American candidate to start off the year or even why he should be considered among the top half of the signal callers in the Ivy League.

...doesn't know it then but the feature piece will be held, pushed out by something more topical. Not knowing when or if their stories will run plagues every journalist; a front page at 6 p.m. can be on page five an hour later. Science writer Leigh Dayton has been lobbying for her exclusive piece on koala leukemia to run; when it's mentioned at conference, someone asks with slight disgust, "Does the koala look like it's got a disease?" The piece makes it in a day later; the picture doesn't. Seeing your stories cut or killed...
