...ensuring that people’s accounts are not compromised such that the U.S. will face any danger. The NSA’s right to collect information it deems to be a threat to the American public is vested in President Ronald Reagan’s executive order on Dec. 4, 1981—the order allows certain federal agencies, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Central Intelligence Agency, to gather information they deem to be a threat to national security.

That was another fish-out-of-water (or amphibian-in-the-bayou) love story, about a New Orleans girl who hopes to build her dream restaurant but is turned into a frog when she kisses a cursed prince. In Dear John, the hero meets his sweetheart by diving into a lake to retrieve her purse. The Sparks story has even more in common with Cameron...
